Poem

“If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t,

If you like to win, but you think you can’t,

It is almost certain you won’t,

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow’s will,

It’s all in the state of MIND,

If you think you’re outclassed, you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can never win a prize.

Life’s battles, don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man

But soon or later the man who wins

is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”

– From ‘Think and grow rich’ by Napolean Hill.

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: Guru Prakasham

Many many years ago our Gurus

lit the lamp

And the prakasham was born

carrying power of the soul

This light of truth on the lands of

five rivers

It orbited and orbited around the

sun

Along with the earth that carried

it as sindhur

This earthly prakasham s so

powerful

Of human’s universal message of

one God

Four hundred orbits gone in no

time

The great Prakasham has even

out-glowed the son

As it orbits all around the sun,

even sun bows in enhanced

reverence

And salutes the earth, for all that

it carries

The Greatest Prakasham of Guru

Granth Sahib.

-A.P.J Abdul Kalam

Poetry: I dream a world

I dream a world where man

no other man will scorn,

Where love will bless the earth

And peace its paths adorn

I dream a world where all

Will know sweet freedom’s way,

Where greed no longer saps the soul

Nor avarice blights our day.

A world I dream where black or white,

Whatever race you be,

Will share bounties of the earth

And every man is free,

where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind

Of such I dream, my world!

-Langston Hughes

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: Believe in yourself

Believe in yourself and in

your dream

Though impossible

things may seem

Someday, somehow

you’ll get through

To the goal you have in view

Mountains fall and sees divide

Before the one who in his stride

Take a hard road day by day

Sweeping obstacles away

Believe in yourself and

in your plan

say not – I cannot – but, I can

The prizes of life we fail to win

Because we doubt the

power within.

-Unknown author

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: Equipment

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,

You have all that the greatest of men have had,

Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,

And a brain to use if you would be wise.

With this equipment they all began,

So, start for the top and say “I can”.

Look them over, the wise and great,

They take their food from a common plate

And similar knives and forks they use,

With similar laces they tie their shoes,

The world considers them brave and smart.

But you’ve all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,

You can be great if only you will,

You’re well equipped for what you choose,

You have legs, arms and a brain to use,

And the man who has risen, great deeds to do

Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,

You are the one who must choose your place,

You must say where you want to go.

How much you will study the truth to know,

God has equipped you for life, But he

Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,

The man must furnish the will to win,

So figure it out for yourself, my lad,

You were born with all the great have had,

With your equipment they all began.

Get hold of yourself, and say: “I CAN.”

-Edgar Albert Guest

Poetry: God is my Shelter!

God is my shelter and my strength,

In him I find my peace and rest,

Without him I have no life,

He put me always on the right path!

When he forgives my sins I know,

I seek his joy and comfort though,

And the decisions that I make,

Are based on him and him alone!

God, how am I thirsty for your help,

You know me better than anyone else,

My heart has been revealed to you,

You are the only one and true!

-Irina Nichifor
