THE TE OF PIGLET

(the power/virtue of Piglet)

Let's find way
today
that can take us to tomorrow-
Follow that way,
like a flowing water.

Let's leave
behind
The things that do not matter,
And turn
our lives
To a more important chapter.

Let's take the time
Let's try to find
what real life has to offer.
And maybe then
we'll find again
What we had long forgotten
like a friend,
True 'til the end
it will help us onward.

The sun is high
the road is wide,
And starts where we are standing
No one knows
How far it goes,
for the road is never-ending.

it goes
Away,
Beyond what we have thought of;
it flows
Away,
Away like flowing water.

-Benjamin Hoff



What Have we Done Today

We shall do much in the years to come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give out gold in a princely sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer,
But what did we speak today ?

We shall be so kind in the after while,
But what have we done today?
We shall bring to each lonely life a smile,
But what have we brought today?
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,
But whom have we fed today?

We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
But what have we sown today?
We shall build us mansions in the sky,
But what have we built today?
`Tis sweet in the idle dreams to bask;
But here and now, do we our task?
Yet, this is the thing our souls must ask,
What have we done today ?

-Nixon Waterman

Always have a dream

Forget about the days

when its been cloudy,

but don’t forget your hours in the sun

Forget about the times

you’ve been defeated

but don’t forget the victories you’ve won

Forget about mistakes

that you cant change now

but don’t forget the lessons

that you’ve learnt

Forget about misfortunes

you encounter

but don’t forget the times

your luck has turned

Forget about the days

when you’ve been lonely

but don’t forget

the friendly smiles you’ve seen

Forget about the plans

that didn’t seem

to work out right

but don’t forget

to always have a

dream

-Amanda Bradley

True Success

How Do you measure success?

To laugh often and much

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

-Ralph Emerson
