Time to Rise

By Robert Luis Stevenson

A birdie with a yellow bill

Hopped upon a window sill

Cocked his shining eyes and said:

"Ain't ya shamed you sleepy- head?"

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Stephen Grellet

"God answers prayers" By Eliza M. Hickok

I know not by what methods rare, But this I know, God answers prayers. I know that He has given His Word, Which tells me prayer is always heard, And will be answered, soon or late, And so I pray and calmly wait. I know not if the blessing sought Will come in just the way I thought; But leave my prayers with Him alone, Whose will is wiser than my own, Assured that He will grant my quest, Or send some answer far more blest.

"I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high" Psalms 82 :6

The Road not Taken By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo 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 thereHad worn them really about the same.

Here’s to thee, old apple tree,

Whence thou may’st bud

And whence thou may’st blow,

And whence thou may’st bear apples enow;

Hats full and caps full,

Bushels full and sacks full,

And our pockets full too.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…" John

1 Nephi 6:55 Wherefore, the things which are pleasing unto the world I do not write, [think say, do, obtain, read, watch] but the things which are pleasing unto God and unto those who are not of the world.

“Inside each of us, I believe, sits a monitor—intolerant of evil. And we must take care not to stifle his voice, or blunt the edge of this sense of justice, For as wise men have held through the ages,

I can choose to govern myself.

I can choose the right when nobody is watching.

Nobility by Alice Cary

True worth is in being, not seeming,— In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good—not in dreamingOf great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness,And spite of the fancies of youth, 

There's nothing so kingly as kindness,

Poem for Mom:

Oh give me patience when tiny hands

Tug at me with their small demands.

And give me gentle and smiling eyes;

Keep my lips from sharp replies.

And let not fatigue, confusion or noice

Obscure my vision of life’s fleeting
