Here are some of my favorite poems... The first one's inspiring... I first saw it in the table of my aunt... The second is fun... I learned it from my first year moderator...>>>

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.


All because you kissed me Goodnight

I climbed the door and opened the stairs,
Said my pajamas and put on my prayers.
Then turned off the bed and crawled into the light
---All because you kissed me goodnight.

Next morning, I woke and scrambled my shoes,
Polished my eggs and toasted the news.
I couldn't tell my left from my right---
All because you kissed me goodnight.

That evening, at last I felt normal again,
So I picked up my mother and called the phone.
I spoke to the puppy and threw dad a bone.
Even at midnight the sun was still bright---
All because you kissed me goodnight.
