Snow

Let there be snow
So things can flow
That we may know
How to grow

Love all

Love
Everything from above
Everything from below cannot hurt
But has to be alert
Love each day
In your own unique way

Power

Some people use it as a shower
Others scrimp for it
We all have to sit
and agree to it

Knowledge

The acquisition of knowledge
Neither begins nor ends with college
It's immensely fostered
As adding to a roster
Which will never end for postures

All Hollows Eve

Twas the night before Halloween
And all through the street
Some creatures were lurking
Who had no feet

Up to the house
They scared us galore
It wasn't like a mouse
I could hear them roar

You and I

By Mary Ann Hoberman

Found in Highlights November 2010

Only one I in the whole wide world
And millions and millions of you,
But every you is an I to itself
And I am a you to you too!
But if I am a you and you are an I
And the opposite is also true,
It makes us both the same somehow
Yet splits us each in two.
Its more and more mysterious,
The more I think it through:
Every you everywhere in the world is an I; every I in the world is a you!

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,


When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow--

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
