Life by Henry Van Dyke
Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back in fear
From what the future veils; but with a whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or down,
O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy:
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,
My heart will keep the courage of the quest,
And hope the road's last turn will be the best.
Have you ever had those days were your Faith is tested to its extremes? I have had plenty of those lately... When will the Rainbow after the thunderstorm come? When will Happy Ever After come.. Who truly knows if it will. I think I should not worry about what is to come but be happy with what I have. I am a romantic soul who believes that all shall come to those who wait....
Do not give up on love, your dreams and hopes. Just keep pushing forward past all those closed doors and look for the open window... its there you will just have to find it..
