I hope you will keep these thoughts
Forever around your neck,
I pray you will cherish them
More fondly then precious gems:  

                                        
                                           Of   Nature—Or   The
                              Beauty                                      Inspira
                        The                                                            tion
                  get                                                                           Of
           For                                                                                       Fri
       er                                                                                                  end
   ev                                                                                                            shi
N                                                                                                                      p
&                                                                                                                      &
N                                                                                                                       d
   ev                                                                                                              Go
       er                                                                                                    Of
           For                                                                                      Love  
                  get                                                                         The  
                        The                                                           get
                                Joy                                             For
                                       Of   Living—And   Never


And when you are discouraged
Or your life is in a wreck,
Remember the pearls you treasured,
And the pain will be forgotten.

Marge, I'm glad this was a blessing to you.

Linda, I'm just passing on what has been passed to me! I'm glad you like it, though.

Karilea, I am far from being as good of a poet as you are, but I'm working on it

Sue, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the encouragement.

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
