Hold Up Your Head



You were not made for failure but success;

Not born for sorrow but for happiness.

Keep this in mind through all life's storms and stress.

Hold up your head.


You were not born a slave but free as air,

In all the beauty of the world you share,

Now banish fear and brush away dull care.

Hold up your head.


The heroes of the world are true kin.

You, too, have greatness buried deep within.

Give it a chance; no fight too hard to win.

Hold up your head.


Remember this great world has need of you,

Has need of all the work that you can do;

And of your visions and your ideals too.

Hold up your head.


Hark to the drums of life! They throb and roll;

Inspire with courage the responsive soul.

March on, you're bound to reach your goal.

Hold up your head.


Poet:  Wilhelmina Stitch

I love you when you are whole and full, but I will love you even more when you think you’re broken or half empty. I will love you even more – even when you think you don’t deserve it. You do not need to ask why I’m always around. You do not

  Within Those Eyes You have wonderful eyes. Not the type which drowns me in, But the type which makes me feel a little more alive. The ones which look cold; But deep inside, give warmth. They were beautiful. They made me feel beautiful. But beneath those eyes, I could see emotions, Or the things which you never told. Some fears, some regrets. The silence narrated stories, With the soft roaring waves. It held some secrets, some lies. Something that was imperfectly perfect. I found a something in your nothing. Something I needed to hold on. Some fears, some tears, And some illusion.

Take A Chance

If you never take a chance You may never get to dance. Life is full of ups and downs Bringing smiles and some tears. But if you always play it safe You may find out too late That life is meant to be Lived each day happily. You don't want to wonder "what if" An opportunity you did miss So take a chance In order to advance And you will find You will not be left behind. Playing it safe does not always pay You may regret it when you're gray! Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
