A friend of mine gave me this recently, but we're not sure where it's come from. Can anybody help?

There's nothing to stop you from building again when you find that your castles have crashed,
There is nothing to stop you from dreaming again when the things that you worked for are smashed,
There is no law to stop you from wearing a smile though perhaps you are crying inside,
There is never a reason for loosing a grip on your nerve and your faith and your pride,
There is nothing to gain by recounting your woes into every listening ear,
Though pity and sympathy won't suit you far though it may be quite kind and sincere,
Get on with the job of rebuilding your life it is useless to sigh and complain,
The best thing to do is to start out anew, pluck up all of your courage and try it again.

Author unknown, but it sounds like an Edgar Guest poem. marty

I love it. "Starting over" exactly where I am at right now.

Thanks - I'm glad you like it. For some reason, the link to the full text refuses to work, merely creating an error in my browser. Can anyone with a technical mind suggest how I can access the page?

Seems to be getting a bit flaky. Through Copernic, the majority of hits mirror back to the one I listed above, all from tmsyn.wc.ask.com. One possibility is that the primary site is down, for whatever reason. Who knows...the original author might've caught wind of it and made a few requests.
