Poetry: Keep trying

Never stop, just keep trying

You will go through a lot

but keep shining.

The obstacles will keep on coming

but keep fighting.

The only and only they want to judge

your strength of hitting.

Just see the little ant

it keeps on trying till reaches the destination.

So keep growing and never fade,

As those who try, never fail.

Poetry: Teachers

Paint their minds

and guide their thoughts

share their achievements

and advise their faults.

Inspire a love

of knowledge and truth

As you light the path

which leads our youth.

For our future brightens

with each lesson you teach

Each smile you lengthen

Each goal you help reach.

For the dawn of each poet

each philosopher and king

Begins with a teacher

And the wisdom they bring.

-Kevin William Huff

Poetry: See it through

When you’re up against a trouble,

Meet it squarely face to face;

Lift your chin and set your shoulders,

Plant your feet and take a brace.

When it’s vain to try to dodge it,

Do the best that you can do;

You may fail, but you may conquer,

See it through!

Black may be the clouds about you

And your future may seem grim,

But don’t let your nerve desert you;

Keep yourself in fighting trim.

If the worst is bound to happen,

Spite of all that you can do,

Running from it will not save you,

See it through!

Even hope may seem but futile,

When with troubles you’re beset,

But remember you are facing

Just other men have met.

You may fail, but fall still fighting;

Don’t give up, whate’er you do;

Eyes front, head high to the finish.

See it through!

-Edgar Albert Guest

Poetry: Will

You will be what you will to be;

Let failure find its false content

In that poor word “Environment,”

But spirit scorns it, and is free,

It masters time, it conquers space,

It cows that boastful trickster chance,

And bids the tyrant circumstance

Uncrown and fill a servant’s place.

The human will, that force unseen,

The offspring of deathless soul,

Can hew the way to any goal,

Though walls of granite intervene.

Be not impatient in delay,

But wait as one who understands;

The gods are ready to obey.

The river seeking for the sea

Confronts the dam and Precipice,

Yet knows it cannot fail or miss;

You will be what you will to be!

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox
