Featured Poem







Co-operation



Poet: J. Mason Knox







It ain't the guns nor amament,



Nor funds that they can pay,



But the close co-operation,



That makes them win the day.







It ain't the individual,



Nor the army as a whole,



But the everlasting teamwork



of every bloomin' soul.

Four Things


by Poet:  Henry van Dyke

Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow-men sincerely;
To act from hionest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.

A short but motivating poem where the Poet focuses on four things he feels every person should do to have a good life.  There are many variations of what should and shouldn't be done and each person may have a different opinion of what these  qualities should be. 

We hope the words of Henry Van Dyke give you inspiration and motivate you to be the best that you can be.
