A Psalm Of Life
02:18
|
|||
Tell me not,
in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
*And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art,
to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. *
Not enjoyment,
not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act,
that each to-morrow
Find us farther
than today..than today
*Art is long,
and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts,
though stout and brave, *
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Mighty Oak

Stand tall oh mighty oak,
for all the world to see,
your strength,undying beauty
forever amazes me.
Though storm clouds
hover above you,
your branches span the sky,
in search of
the radiant sunlight
you count on to survive.
When the winds are
high and restless
you lose a limb or two,
it only makes you stronger,
It only makes you stronger...
we could learn so much
We could learn so much from you.
Though generations
have come and gone
brought about such change,
Quietly you've watched them all
yet still remained the same.
I only pray
God give to me
the strength
he's given you,
to face each day
with hope, whether
skies are black or blue,
Life on earth
is truly a gift
every moment
we must treasure,
it's the simple things
Its the simple things
we take for granted
that become
our ultimate
pleasures.
