when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.
Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart
cannot manage.
Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes
cannot see it.
Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused
of the direction.
Hope is a wonderful thing,
something to be cherished and nurtured,
and something that will refresh us in return.
And it can be found in each of us,
and it can bring light into the darkest of places.
NEVER LOOSE HOPE!

"NEVER GIVE UP"
Author Unknown
Though your troubles may be many,
and your joys be very few,
Never give up your battles
there's victory in store for you.
Though you may try your best,
and never win or gain,
remember you have a purpose,
a single goal to claim..
Even when the chips are down,
and no one's on your side,
you'll always have something,
you'll always have your pride..
And when your dreams turn to dust,
and the wind blows them away,
there is always tomorrow,
tomorrow's a new day.
So never think life is worthless
never think of yourself as poor,
for what lies ahead in the future,
No one knows for sure...
SO NEVER GIVE UP

THE PARADOX
Author Unknown
The paradox of our time in history is,
That we have taller buildings,
But shorter tempers;
We have wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less;
We buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgment;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicine, but less wellness.
We drink to much, smoke to much,
Spend to recklessly,laugh to little,
Drive to fast,get to angry too quickly,
Stay up to late,get up to tired,
Read to seldom,watch TV to much,and pray to seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions,but reduced our values.
We talk to much,love to seldom,and hate to often.
We've learned how to make a living,but not a life;
We've added years to life,not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
But have trouble crossing the street,
To meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space,but not inner space.
We've done larger things,but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air,but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom,but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information
To produce more copies than ever,
But have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; Tall men, and short character;
Steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace,
But domestic warfare;
More leisure, but less fun;
More kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;
Of fancier houses, but broken homes.
