Poem of H㋡pe
MY GOD WILL MAKE A WAY – Lydia Preston
Society seems in a mess
Mothers cry, while Fathers stress
to be polite is a disgrace
as children mock you to your face
Every day the papers show
that crime and rape did upward go
the things done in laboratories
are stashed away in lavatories
Drugs and sex aren’t hard to find
it seems as if the world’s gone blind
for what the people fail to see
is messing up society
As Dads no longer head their home
and kids all sit, and chat by phone
what once to all has been a home
is looking like a war torn zone
No longer do you find that kids
are playing in the park
for it’s become a hideout place
for gangsters after dark
what once was right now seems so wrong
no more joy and no more song
as what this all was meant to be
lies buried in a cemetery
By telling you these things my aim
is not to make you mad
it’s just to tell another truth
which soon will make you glad
Amidst the chaos of this world
of hurt, despair and pain
and hate along with treachery
all done for selfish gain
There’s this one thing I know of
believe with all my heart
that when I bend my knees to pray
my God will make a way
Recipe for a Happy New Year
Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or
thirty-one different parts,
but don’t make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients:
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience, one part of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.
You’re bound to have a happy new year.

The joy of giving
Give Lavishly! Live Abundantly!
– Helen Steiner Rice
The more you give, the more you get,
The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly –
The more of everything you share,
The more you always have to spare.
The more you love, the more you’ll find
That life is good and friends are kind,
For only what we give away
Enriches us from day to day.
