JVST KEEPING ON
Feeling blue? Feel as if your
efforts have not been worthwhile?
Then we’ve run across a little
poem that should help you and
perhaps make you realize your ef
forts, though feeble, may not have
been wholly in vain.
I have dreamed many dreams
that never came true
And saw them vanish at dawn. ;
But I’ve realized enough of my
dreams
To make me keep dreaming on. j
i
I have prayed many prayers when
no answer came
Though patiently I waited long.
But enough of m> ? prayers have
been answered
To make me keep prayinR pn -
I have trusted in many a friend
who failed
And left me to weep alone.
But I've found enough of my
i friends true blue
To make me keep trusting them
on.
j have sowed many seed that fell
by the way
For birds to feed upon.
But I’ve held enough golden
sheaves in my arms
To make me keep sowing on.
I have spoken many a careless
word
And suffered remorse for the
I wrong.
But the cheer and the smiles from
my words worthwhile
Make me keep speaking on.
I have written many a terse and
rhyme
That were soon forgotten and
gone.
But the joy of knowing a few
were worthwhile
’ Made me keep writing on.
I have made many blotches on the
! book of life
As the pages turn on and on.
I But I’ve seen enough beauty on
them
i To keep me turning on.
i I’ve drained the cup of disap
pointment and pain
And known many a day without
song.
But I’ve sipped enough nectar
from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.
To those of us who dream,
pray, trust, speak and write, there
is a desire to keep dreaming
praying, trusting, sowing, speak
ing, and writing, with the thought
foremost that a dream, a prayer, a
.
line, will prove worthwhile to
someone else. By "Just Keeping
On” we can encourage others to
do the same.
“I’ve sipped enough nectar from
the roses of life to make me
want to live on."
Crimson clover is best adapted
to soil containing considerable
amount of clay.
