Three Lessons
By Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
There are three lessons I would write, —
Three words — as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow, —
No night but...

One Day You’ll Know
By Pandora Poikilos
I am huddled in a corner
Waiting for you to speak
Waiting for you to love me
Waiting for you to accept me
Waiting for the day when you will know
All there is to know
One day you’ll know
How my memories of you
Are ones torn with torment filled words
I craved for you to accept...

Anything vs. Everything
By Pandora Poikilos
As I trudge on in these seemingly never ending road of uncertainties
Help me to become less self-reliant
and understand that I can indeed
Place all my fears, doubts, worries and burdens on you
As one person, I cannot do anything,
But you, God, can do everything
Help me to become...

My Needs Are Less
By Pandora Poikilos
At a moment when so many things
Are going wrong all at once
Help me, Lord, to be mindful and
Always grateful of the blessings I have received today
Even as I know I cannot help everyone in need
I am thankful
That I can help the few that cross my path
And to always seek prayer...

Smile
Music by Charles "Charlie" Chaplin
Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons
Smile tho' your heart is aching,
Smile even tho' it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by,
If you smile
thro' your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shin-ing thro' for...

I Love You Without Knowing How
Sonnet XVII
By Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light...

How Do I Love Thee?
Sonnet XLIII
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I...

This Too Shall Pass Away
Author Unknown
A mighty monarch in the days of old
Made offer of high honour, wealth and gold,
To one who should produce in form concise
A motto for his guidance, terse yet wise---
A precept, soothing in his hours forlorn,
Yet one that in his prosperous days would warn.
Many the maxims sent...

Funeral Blues
By WH Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round...

More Experts But More Problems
By the 14th Dalai Lama
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge but less judgment;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but...

If
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being...
