Very Impressive Person

He greets everyone with a smile
And a hearty handshake;
And makes you feel he means it
When he says he’s glad to meet you.

And he makes you glad you met him.

He walks with a sprightly
step
And speaks with a laugh in his voice.
He listens with interest
And speaks with conviction,

And makes you fell you’ve known him all yo would like your life.

He doesn’t seem to try to impress,
Yet he’s most imppressive.
He never tries pressing to persuade,
Yet you always come away convinced.
He’s the kind of guy we enjoy being around

Because he is what we all secretly would like to be-
Someone who enjoys being himself.

Not another Teen

There must be more out there
There must be something deeper

Than this surface identity
This worldly life

Typical teens
The world’s full of them
We don’t need any more

But it’s the easy way

We always take the easy way
I want to be different
To stand out
It won’t be easy
But I don’t care
I’m going to be a servant

Until I die
For service gives you the wings
to learn to fly

To Fly above the helplessness
And emptiness you fell from inner-city missions

To Christmas for the homeless
I don’t car where I go
As long as I’m God-sent
I trust you Lord
Almighty God

To lead me where you please

All I ask is that you are there
Forever, Lord, with me

-Daniell Hurley

I am only one,

But I still am one.

I cannot do everything,

But still I can do something;

And because I cannot do everything

I will not refuse to do the something I can do.

- Edward Everett Hale

DON’T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit –

Rest is you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a person turns about

When they might have won had they stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor’s cup;

And he learned too late when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out –

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, –

It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”

“Winning Is Giving”

Winning is giving your best self away

Winning is serving witgh grace every day

You’ll know that you’ve won when your friends say it’s true.

“I like who I am when I’m around you.

You look for the best in the others you see

And you help us become who we’re trying to be.”

Winning is helping someone who’s down

It’s sharing a smile instead of a frown.

It’s giving your children a hug by the fire

And sharing the values and dreams that inspire.

It’s giving your parents the message “I care.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for being so fair.”

Winners are willing to give more than get

Their favors are free, you’re never in debt.

Winning is giving on hundred percent

It’s paying your dues, your taxes, your rent

It’s trying and doing, not crying and stewing.

Winners respect every color and creed,

They share and they care for everyone’s need.

The losers keep betting that winning is getting
But there’s one of God’s laws that they keep forgetting
And this is the Law you can live and believe
The more that you give, the more you’ll receive!

God’s Hall of Fame

To have your name inscribed up there is greater yet by far,

Than all the halls of fame down here and everyone man-made star.
This crowd on earth, they soon forget the heroes of the past,
They cheer like mad until you fall and that’s how long you last.

I tell you, friend, I would not trade my name, however small,
If written there beyond the stars in that celestial hall,
For any famous name on earth or glory that they share,
I’d rather be an unknown here and have my name up there.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakengin the strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselvs.

- Abraham Lincoln

“The Man in the Glass”

“When you get what you want in your struggle for self

And the world makes you king for a day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself

And see what that man has to say.

“For it isn’t your father or mother or wife

Whose judgement upon

you must pass,

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the one staring back from the glass.

“You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum

And think you’re a wonderful guy,

But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum

If you can’t look him straight in the eye.

“He’s the fellow to please - never mind all the rest,

For he’s with you clear to the end;

And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test

If the man in the glass is your friend.

“You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years

And get pats on the back as you pass,

But your final reward will be heartache and tears

If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”

“A Little Fellow Follows Me.”

A careful man I want to be,

A little fellow follows me,

I do

not dare to go astray,

For fear he’ll go the self-same way.

I cannot once escape his eyes,

Whate’er he sees me do, he tries;

Like me he says he’s going to be,

The little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I am good and fine,

Believes in every word of mine;

The base in me he must not else,

The little chap who follows me.

I must remember as I go,

Through summer’s sun and winter’s snow;

I am building for the years to be

That little chap who follows me. Lee Fisher
