Love Comes Alongside

In tomorrow’s shadows

Worry waits to jump out

Disappointment crashes in

Filling waves with doubt

 

Aspirations seem dashed

Sunrise seemingly locked

Yesterday not forgotten

Seeing future blocked

 

Breath of sorrow surrounds

Hope seen flowing away

Another storm standing tall

Searching through its gray

 

Dreams no longer brightened

Today’s voyage postponed

Been at this moment before

Feeling self disowned

 

Freedom shares patient heart

Journey no longer drowned

Faithful love comes alongside

Sailing homeward-bound

E. B. White Quotes

I see nothing in space as promising as the view from a ferris wheel.

Hang on to your hat.  Hang on to your hope.  And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.

Elwyn Brooks (E. B.) White (1899-1985) was an American writer.  He authored many classic children’s books, including CHARLOTTE’S WEB, STUART LITTLE, and THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN.

Carl Sandburg Quotes

Time is the coin of your life.  It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.  Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Yesterday is done.  Tomorrow never comes.  Today is here.  If you don’t know what to do, sit still and listen.  You may hear something.  Nobody knows.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was an American writer and journalist.  Many of his works centered around poetry (he preferred “free verse’) and writing biographies.  One of his most well-received biographies was about American President Abraham Lincoln.  He received three Pulitzer Prizes (two for poetry and one for his Lincoln biography).  Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois.

Encouraging Heavens

Vastness of oceans deep

Swimming with endless wonders

Encouraging what world should keep

Heavens answer with thunder

 

Vastness of universe

Swimming with infinite stars

Encouraging nature’s free verse

Heavens address from afar

 

Vastness of instinct flows

Swimming to every shoreline

Encouraging children, let’s grow

Heavens praise learning’s outline

 

Vastness of human mind

Swimming toward tomorrow

Encouraging love, always kind

Heavens remove all sorrow

 

Vastness of creation

Swimming with unending light

Encouraging every nation

Heavens transform man’s foresight

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.

Helen Keller (1880-1968) was an American author and lecturer.  Her own journey through blindness and deafness encouraged her to advocate for the rights of others who live with disabilities.  

Tomorrow Shall Come

From Psalm 30:4-5:  “Sing praises to the Lord, O you His faithful ones, and give thanks to His holy name.  For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime.  Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Trials of darkness

Arriving today

Feeling faith challenged

Hope slipping away

 

Another mountain

Blocking path of peace

Taking Father’s road

Trust builds, piece by piece

 

Truth comes each sunrise

Breathing with His love

Delivering hope

Joy fed from above

 

Heart’s rainbow brightens

Finding peace from light

Refilling faith’s cup

Mercy taking flight

 

Father’s promised grace

Gathering each crumb

Leading to Jesus

Tomorrow shall come

From Psalm 30:11-12:  “You have turned my mourning into dancing; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise You and not be silent.  Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
