Loss And Gain ~ by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 " Loss & Gain "

When I compare

What I have lost with what I have gained,

What I have missed with what attained,

  Little room do I find for pride.

     I am aware

How many days have been idly spent;

How like an arrow the good intent

  Has fallen short or been turned aside.

     But who shall dare

To measure loss and gain in this wise?

Defeat may be victory in disguise;

  The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. "Loss And Gain."

Poem: “Help Yourself to Happiness”

Inspirational Message: Where to search happiness in life.

Everybody, everywhere
seeks happiness, it’s true,
But finding it and keeping it
seem difficult to do.

Difficult because we think
that happiness is found
Only in the places where
wealth and fame abound.

And so we go on searching
in palaces of pleasure
Seeking recognition
and monetary treasure,

Unaware that happiness
is just a state of mind
Within the reach of everyone
who takes time to be kind.

For in making others happy
we will be happy, too.
For the happiness you give away
returns to shine on you.


“Help Yourself to Happiness” by Helen Steiner Rice

Poem: "Pain Ends."

“Pain Ends.”

Inspirational Message: ➳ Letting go of whatever causes you pain and sadness.

Breathe in the fresh air,

Put your mind at ease.

Let down your hair,

Let it flow in the breeze.

Let your eyes wander,

To all the beauty to be seen.

If those toxic thoughts you still do ponder,

Then let out a scream.

Scream until the pain is gone,

Until you no longer feel afraid.

Open your eyes to a new dawn,

Let the darkness fade.

No longer compare yourself

Or your flaws to others’ perfections.

Take the negativity off the shelf.

Focus on your direction.

Pick the sadness up off the floor,

Sweep it into the wind.

Close the door on self-hatred.

Never let it back in.

For the lies it would often tell you,

You will no longer agree.

Happiness and love are what you should hold onto.

They are whom you should give the key.

Pay no attention to the toxic thoughts,

Listen to those who adore everything you are.

Overthinking was what you once were taught,

But now those thoughts you put in a jar.

Focus on your goals,

Never lose your fight.

It’s time to open new scrolls.

Everything will be all right.

Poem: " Red Brocade. "

  ❅ Poem: Red Brocade ❅ Naomi Shihab Nye ❅

“The Arabs used to say,

When a stranger appears at your door,

feed him for three days before asking who he is,

where he’s come from,

where he’s headed.

That way, he’ll have strength

enough to answer.

Or, by then you’ll be

such good friends

you don’t care.”

Poem: " To All My Friends. "

 ❅ Poem: To All My Friends ❅ Hauntie ❅

“To all my friends who have been with me in weakness,

when water falls rush down my two sides.

To all my friends who have felt me in anguish,

when this earthen back breaks between the crack of two blades.

To all my friends who have held me in rage,

when fire tears through swallows behind tight grins.

I know you,

I see you,

I hear you“

Poem: " What is the greatest gift? "

 ❅ Poem: What is the greatest gift? ❅ Marie Oliver ❅

“What is the greatest gift?

Could it be the world itself—the oceans, the meadowlark,

the patience of the trees in the wind?

Could it be love, with its sweet clamor of passion?

Something else—something else entirely 

holds me in thrall.

That you have a life that I wonder about

more than I wonder about my own.“|

If Only Through Heaven's Eyes ~ by ✯ N'Sync

>> https://youtu.be/XOWLSOLwUcg

Some say it wasn’t worth the things we went through

Someday you’ll see if only through heaven’s eyes

We’ve got to keep remembering them all

The ones who took the fall

They did it for us all.

Poem: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

❅ Poem: The Road Not Taken ❅ Robert Frost ❅

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Poem: Go Into This Week by S.C. Lourie

❅ Poem: Go Into This Week ❅ S.C. Lourie ❅

Go into this week

with the attitude that

your peace,

your health of mind,

and your heart

mean more than

getting everything else done.

That your smile matters,

That feeling rested matters.

That holding the hand

of your loved ones matter.

So pause lots,

function at a pace

that doesn’t pull you apart.

Honour the things that

make you feel good inside,

the things that make you feel alive.

Give time to those things this week.

Make time the gift it is,

by giving it to what really matters to you.

— S.C. Lourie of Butterflies and Pebbles

The Guest House, by Rumi

 ❅ Poem: The Guest House ❅ By Rumi ❅

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.

meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

❅ Poet: Rumi ❅

❄ Poem: What Life Should Be ❄

To learn while still a child

What this life is meant to be.

To know it goes beyond myself,

It’s so much more than me.

To overcome the tragedies,

To survive the hardest times.

To face those moments filled with pain,

And still manage to be kind.

To fight for those who can’t themselves,

To always share my light.

With those who wander in the dark,

To love with all my might.

To still stand up with courage,

Though standing on my own.

To still get up and face each day,

Even when I feel alone.

To try to understand the ones

That no one cares to know.

And make them feel some value

When the world has let them go.

To be an anchor, strong and true,

That person loyal to the end.

To be a constant source of hope

To my family and my friends.

To live a life of decency,

To share my heart and soul.

To always say I’m sorry

When I’ve harmed both friend and foe.

To be proud of whom I’ve tried to be,

And this life I chose to live.

To make the most of every day

By giving all I have to give.

To me that’s what this life should be,

To me that’s what it’s for.

To take what God has given me

And make it so much more

To live a life that matters,

To be someone of great worth.

To love and be loved in return

And make my mark on Earth.
