Life Needs An ‘Undo’ Button

Life Needs An “Undo” Button
By Brian

If life had an “undo” button
Oh, how easy it would be
To never have to worry
About which path was right for me.

I could leap without looking;
Never consult with an advisor.
I could make mistakes so freely
And no one would be the wiser.

If I messed up, if I flubbed up,
If I screwed up royally,

Think On These Things

The lady that used to live in the house we just bought had newspaper clippings of poetry and prayers taped to the inside of the kitchen cabinet doors. Honey removed them before cleaning the cabinets, but I couldn’t bring myself to throw them away.

But The Heart Said No

They saw the poor living in cardboard shacks, so they knocked the shacks down and built projects. Huge blocks of cement and glass towered over asphalt parking lots. Somehow it wasn’t much like home.

Are you sure?

Are you sure that it will be . . . → Read More: Are You Sure?

Friendship

Friendship
by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Oh, the comfort,

The Road Not Taken

Honey posted this on his blog a while back. I absolutely love it.

The Road Not Taken
By Robert FrostĀ 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as . . . → Read More: The Road Not Taken
