to accept the things I cannot change;

and the wisdom to know the difference.

These are all Robert Frost:
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The Road Not Taken
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

What is a Middle School Student?
What is a Middle School Student?
I was asked one day.
I knew what she was
But what could I say?
She is noise and confusion
She is silence that is deep.
She is sunshine and laughter
Or a cloud that will weep.
She is swift as an arrow.
She is a waster of time.
She wants to be rich
But cannot save a dime.
She is rude and .
She is polite as can be.
She wants parental guidance
But fights to be free.
She is aggressive and bossy.
She is timid and shy.
She knows all the answers
But still will ask, “Why?”
She is awkward and clumsy.
She is graceful and poised.
She is ever changing
But do not be annoyed.
“What is a middle school student?”
I was asked one day.
She is the future unfolding
So do not stand in the way.

Have Courage for the great sorrows of life
and
Patience for the small ones;
and when you have laboriously
accomplished your daily task,
go to sleep in peace.
GOD IS AWAKE

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.--William Faulkner
