"Days of the Week Poems"

This is simply an additional page of poetry.... Some "food for thought". A little something for every day of the week.

"Sunday"

God grant me the
serenity to accept the
things that can't be changed,

The courage to change the
things that can be changed,

And the wisdom to know
the difference

"Monday"

To watch the sun set in the
west without regretting;
To hail its advent in the east
- the night forgetting;
To have enough to share -
- to know the joy of giving;
To thrill with all the sweets
of life - is living.

"Tuesday"

Take time to think,
it is the source of power;

Take time to play, it is the
secret of perpetual youth;

Take time to laugh
is it the music of the soul;

Take time to love and be loved,
it is a God-given privilege.

"Wednesday"

I shall pass throught this life but once,
If, therefore, there is any kindess
I can show,
Or any good I can do any fellow being,
Let me do it now!
Let me not deter or neglect it,
For I shall not pass this way again.

"Thursday"

Begin the day with friendliness,
Keep friendly all day long,
Keep in your soul a friendly thought -
In your heart a freindly song,
Have in your mind a word of cheer,
For all who come your way,
And they will greet you too, in turn -
And wish you a happy day.

"Friday"

For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven:
- a time to be born and a time to die;
- a time to break down and a time to build up;
- a time to weep and a time to laugh;
- a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together;
- a time to mourn and a time to dance;
- a time to keep and a time to cast away;

"Saturday"

Friendship is the comfort,
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring all right out just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping and
with a breath of comfort blow the rest away.
