Thought for the Day

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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.

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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worse that you mustn't quit.

*My 7th grade English teacher gave my class this poem about 10 years ago; It's stuck with me since. Now I have Hayden, this great little boy, and everyday I get to come home to these kisses....


How Blessed am I?
