To
sit and drift away into a dream of yesterday of the times that were,
brings back the smiles of your life to the heart for special times.
Now to plan for a future that you are unsure of the fear of success
can be more frightening than the new possibilities; but you will rise
and fly to the heights of renewed spirit.
Wherefore I will tell thee, and
do thou give heed and hearken. Nothing feebler does earth nurture than
man, of all things that on earth are breathing and moving. For he thinks
that he will never suffer evil in time to come, so long as the gods
give him prosperity and his knees are quick; but when again the blessed
gods decree him sorrow, this too he bears in sore despite with steadfast
heart; for the spirit of men upon the earth is even such as the day
which the father of gods and men brings upon them
Homer Odyssey 18.130
Never
get lost in yesterday, but always look to the past for the smiles that
bring you to the happiness of today.

COME The DAWN
After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
and you learn that love doesn't mean security,
and you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and eyes open with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground Is too uncertain, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight, and after awhile you learn that even sunshine burns If you get too much, so you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting, for someone to bring you flowers, and you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth, and you learn and learn with every good-bye you learn.
