Starting each day by reading positive words can actually help you in having a good day - you see it is our choice - have a good day or a bad one - many times it is our attitude, how we view a situation that determines that!

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.

Never Lose Hope

Hope is the one thing that we all have in common. Not matter what our situation if we have hope we have a chance. Samuel Smiles describes hope well, "Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles. Samuel Smiles

We also like the words of Dale Carnegie who said, "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."

Here are two short poems that talk about hope, we hope you find them motivational. May they remind you to never lose hope.

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers
Poet: Emily Dickinson

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of Me.

Far Away
Poet: Louisa May Alcott

Far away there in the sunshine
are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them but
I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them,
and try to follow them.
