Arise, my soul, and hail the dawning day Appreciate this opportunity Bestowed on you to give, to love, to play Cast yesterday far deep beneath the sea. Pressed down be not by sorrows of the past Nor trouble borrow from a future time Be still, my soul, find peace and hold it fast And drift upon calm streams of rest sublime. The future's not yet here, the past is gone 'Tis wasted time to dwell upon such things Enjoy this day, this present golden dawn And skim each cresting wave on soaring wings. The Captain of my ship can never fail O'er troubled waters I can safely sail. Denise |

Was that a sonnet? If it was then it was a very good one. My hat goes off to you because, a sonnet is not that easy to write. Nathan |

Very beautiful work..I am breathless. Keep up the great work, I love reading it! *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
