Something to Read

This is my favorite poem....
The Man in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
and the world makes you king for a day.
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
and see what that man has to say.
For is isn't your father or mother, or wife
whose judgement upon you must pass,
but the fellows whose verdict counts most in your life,
is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight shootin'
chum and call you a wonderful guy,
but the man in the glass say's you're only a bum,
if you can't look him stragiht in the eye.
He's the one you must please never mind all the rest,
and he's with you straight to the end.
And you've passed your most difficult task,
if the man in the glass is your friend.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of
years, and get pats on the back as you pass,
but your final reward will be heartache and tears,
if you've cheated the man in the glass.

* After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.
* The biggest risk in life is not risking.
* What we Are is God's gift to us, what we Become is our gift to God.
* Excuses are your lack of faith in your own powers.
