Andrea Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Anyone have a poem or something for the cookbook? I am finalizing it, hope it have it out by the end of the week for publishing. andreascheff@roadrunner.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joppette Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm a poetry freak, so I may post more than one. But I think it's appropriate to have poems that glorify life. Here's a couple. The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: a miracle and unrepeatable. Storm Jameson One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.

Joppette Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I liked this one too! FORGET It is better to forget the things that hurt us. And to live each day and take whatever comes. With the hope that by tomorrow There will come a blam for sorrow And help to master life's important sums! There's a strength comes to us every time we suffer. And our will grows stronger every time we fight. Let us then be doubly grateful For the things that disappoint us; They only come to lead us to the light!

Joppette Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 One more! Oh geez, my OCD is kicking in! Did I tell you I love poetry? MY TASK To love someone more dearly every day, To help a wandering child to find his way, To ponder o'er a noble thought and pray, And smile when evening falls~ This is my task. To follow truth as blind men seek for light, To do my best from dawn of day till night, To keep my heart fit for His holy sight, And answer when He calls~ This is my task. And then my Savior by and by to meet, When faith hath made her task on earth complete, And lay my homage at the Master's feet, Within the jasper walls~ This crowns my task.

Joppette Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's fine with me! I love all of them, and tried to find ones that relate to those of us that have had cancer or cared for someone with cancer. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
