“There is no Death! What seems so is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
She is not dead,--the child of our affection,--
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
Excerpt from the poem "Resignation" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow”

“DREAMS
Never by many are marvels wrought,
By one or two are the dreams first caught. . .
The dreamer must toil when the odds are great,
Must stand to failure and work and wait.
Must keep his faith though he stand alone,
Until the truth of his dream is known.”

“A TIDY SPELL"
I've just been through a tidy spell,
I tell you it's a verity,
I've sorted out the things to keep,
The things to give to charity.
I've sorted out my ties and belts,
I've sorted out my shirts,
I've sorted out my coats and slacks---
To part with some it hurts.
I've sorted out my shoes and socks,
I've sorted out my shorts,
I've sorted out so much, in fact,
That now I'm out of sorts.
