    [align=center]Be Strong[/align]
    [align=left]Be strong in love, O heart of mine![/align]
    [align=left]     Live not for self alone,[/align]
    [align=left]But find, in blessing other lives,[/align]
    [align=left]    Completeness for thine own.[/align]
    [align=left]Seek every hungering heart to feed,[/align]
    [align=left]    Each saddened heart to cheer;[/align]
    [align=left]And when stern justice stands aloof,[/align]
    [align=left]     In pity thou draw near.[/align]
    [align=left]Kind, loving words and helping hands[/align]
    [align=left]    Have won more souls for heaven[/align]
    [align=left]Than all the dogmas and the creeds[/align]
    [align=left]   By priests and sages given.[/align]
    [align=left] [/align]
    [align=left]Be strong to hope, O heart of mine![/align]
    [align=left]    Look not on life's dark side;[/align]
    [align=left]For just beyond these gloomy hours[/align]
    [align=left]    Rich radient days abide.[/align]
    [align=left]Let hope, like summer's rainbow bright,[/align]
    [align=left]Scatter thy falling tears;[/align]
    [align=left]And let God's special promises [/align]
    [align=left]   Dispel all anxious fears.[/align]
    [align=left]To every grief a Lethe comes,[/align]
    [align=left]   For every toil a rest;[/align]
    [align=left]So hope, so love, so patient bear


    [/align]
    [align=left]    God doeth all things best.[/align]
    [align=left] Poet unknown[/align]
    [align=left] [/align]
    [align=left]May we all cherish this philosphy throughout all our lifes trials.[/align]

    Really beautiful, Marianne. There really is something about poetry that can't be expressed in any other way. Thank you for sharing this poem that inspires you and lights your way. 🙂

    Peace, Maz
