I Am
I know not whence I came,
I know not whither I go;
But the fact stands clear that I am here
In this world of pleasure and woe.
And out of the mist and murk
Another truth shines plain –
It is my power each day and hour
To add to its joy or its pain.
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Life Steps
Our entire life is made up of choices,
What we decide, the action we take, the attitude we display
All represent the steps of life.
Sometimes we take two steps forward And one-step back.
Some of us take baby steps
Some of us take giant steps
But the secret is not to let that one step back turn into a failure.
Learn from backward steps
And keep on stepping forward in this dance Called Life!
By Catherine Pulsifer
Just One
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true,
One life can make a difference,
You see, it’s up to you!

Always Remember to Forget
Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue
But don’t forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you
Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away
But never, never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
