I Wish You Peace
I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire's glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
Arms to hold you when you ache inside
I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever's end
I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high, and your, your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow
Oh, I wish you the strength to let love flow
Wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low
Wish you the strength to let love grow, ah, ah, ah
I wish you the strength to let love flow, ah, ah, ah
I wish you the strength to let love glow, ah, ah, ah
I wish you the strength to let love glow
Carpe diem is a Latin phrase meaning "seize the day" or "pluck the day". It is a call to make the most of the present moment and enjoy it without worrying too much about the future, as life is fleeting. The phrase originated from a poem by the Roman poet Horace.
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul

Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Defeat By Kahlil Gibran
Defeat, my Defeat, my solitude and my aloofness;
You are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs,
And sweeter to my heart than all world-glory.
Defeat, my Defeat, my self-knowledge and my defiance,
Through you I know that I am yet young and swift of foot
And not to be trapped by withering laurels.
And in you I have found aloneness
And the joy of being shunned and scorned.
Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield,
In your eyes I have read
That to be enthroned is to be enslaved,
And to be understood is to be leveled down,
And to be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.
Defeat, my Defeat, my bold companion,
You shall hear my songs and my cries and my silences,
And none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wings,
And urging of seas,
And of mountains that burn in the night,
And you alone shall climb my steep and rocky soul.
Defeat, my Defeat, my deathless courage,
You and I shall laugh together with the storm,
And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,
And we shall stand in the sun with a will,
And we shall be dangerous.
There is a time and season for everything under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 3King James Version
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
Change is inevitable, embrace it. "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.".
focus on the opportunity and potential of change, rather than the fear or resistance.change should inspire reflection and action regarding personal growth and development.
Love in the Hebrew and Greek Languages
Love is a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment to a person, animal, or thing. It is expressed in many forms, encompassing a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, or the deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure.Source: Wikipedia

The Value of a Smile. A smile offers numerous benefits, both personally and socially. It can reduce stress, improve mood, and even have a positive impact on physical health. Smiling can also enhance social interactions, make a good first impression, and build trust with others.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. A smile is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.
Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" by William WordsworthOur birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,Hath had elsewhere its setting,And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,And not in utter nakedness,But trailing clouds of glory do we comeFrom God, who is our home:Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
The youth, who daily farther from the eastMust travel, still is Nature's priest.And by the vision splendidIs on his way attended:At length the man perceives it die away,And fade into the light of common day.Shades of the prison-house begin to closeUpon the growing Boy,But He beholds the light, and whence it flows,He sees it in his joy;
As the world awakens from the slumber of winter, the Spring Vernal Equinox marks the arrival of a new season—one that embodies renewal, growth, and balance. Occurring around March 20th or 21st each year in the Northern Hemisphere, the equinox is a celestial event where day and night are of equal length, symbolizing harmony between light and darkness. For centuries, cultures across the globe have revered this transition, celebrating it as a time of rebirth and new beginnings.
World Poetry Day, observed every March 21st, is a tribute to the poets and poetry lovers who use words to heal, inspire, and challenge perspectives. Poetry is more than just words on a page—it’s an experience, a revolution, a way to connect across time and cultures
Poetry has existed for centuries, shaping movements, sparking change, and soothing souls. From the lyrical wisdom of Rumi and the revolutionary words of Maya Angelou to the contemporary voices that continue to shape our world, poetry reminds us of our shared humanity. It speaks for the voiceless, paints vivid emotions, and captures fleeting moments in time.
