A PSALM OF LIFE...Take care of yourself, my friend.<br /><br />A PSALM OF LIFE<br /><br />Tell me not, in mournful numbers, <br />Life is but an empty dream!-<br />For the soul is dead that slumbers, <br />And things are not what they seem.<br /><br />Life is real! Life is earnest!<br />And the grave is not its goal;<br />Dust thou art, to dust returnest,<br />Was not spoken of the soul.<br /><br />Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,<br />Is our destined end or way;<br />But to act, that each to-morrow<br />Find us farther than to-day.<br /><br />Art is long, and time is fleeting,<br />And our heart, though stout and brave,<br />Still, like muffled drums, are beating<br />Funeral durges to the grave.<br /><br />In the world's broad field of battle,<br />In the bivouac of life,<br />Be not like dumb, driven cattle!<br />Be a hero in the strife!<br /><br />Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!<br />Let the dead Past bury its dead!<br />Act, -act in the living Present!<br />Heart within, and God o'erhead!<br /><br />Lives of great men all remind us<br />We can make our lives sublime,<br />And, departing, leave behind us<br />Footprints on the sands of time.<br /><br />Footprints, that, perhaps another,<br />Sailing o'er life's solemn main,<br />A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,<br />Seeing, shall take heart again.<br /><br />Let us, then, be up and doing,<br />With a heart for any fate;<br />Still achieving, still pursuing,<br />Learn to labor and to wait. <br /><br />- Henry Wadsworth LongfellowSilkehttp://hooahwife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-21404324152731497092010-08-31T20:47:00.136-05:002010-08-31T20:47:00.136-05:00Take care of yourself Chris.Take care of yourself Chris.M*Ahttp://didyouseethis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-26409562142692846132010-08-31T19:29:57.748-05:002010-08-31T19:29:57.748-05:00nothing wrong with that,Chris....we've all gon...nothing wrong with that,Chris....we've all gone through the 'ebb & flow" of blogging when personal stuff comes up.<br />just make sure you come back to it when you're ready:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313411062091135894noreply@blogger.com
