What of these things my ears do hear, Amidst the old town square. These tales of glory and sorrow unknown, To me is much to bare. Please pray to me. O’ tell me love What of...

&quot;One bright day in the middle of the night<br /> Two dead boys* got up to fight [*or men]<br /> Back to back they faced each other<br /> Drew their swords and shot each other<br /> <br /> One was blind and the other couldn&#039;t see<br /> So they chose a dummy for a referee.<br /> A blind man went to see fair play<br /> A dumb man went to shout &quot;hooray!&quot;<br /> [or: And two lame men came to carry them away]<br /> <br /> A paralysed donkey passing by<br /> Kicked the blind man in the eye<br /> Knocked him through a nine inch wall<br /> Into a dry ditch and drowned them all<br /> <br /> A deaf policeman heard the noise<br /> And came to arrest the two dead boys<br /> If you don&#039;t believe this story&rsquo;s true,<br /> Ask the blind man he saw it too! &quot;-i have no idea who actually wrote this poem but it was quoted on the movie &quot;Haunting In Conneticut.&quot;

A Penny for Your Thoughts

Favorite Quote:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.<br /> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.<br /> If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.<br /> If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.<br /> What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.<br /> If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.<br /> The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.<br /> Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you&#039;ve got anyway.<br /> You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.<br /> -Mother Teresa
