Thomas Gray\nOde on a Distant Prospect of Eton College\n\n".Yet ah! why should they know their fate? \nSince sorrow never comes too late, \nAnd happiness too swiftly flies. \nThought would destroy their paradise. \nNo more; where ignorance is bliss, \n'Tis folly to be wise."\n\nhttp://www.web-books.com/Classics/Poetry/Anthology/Gray_T/OdeOnDistance.htm

Is it the one 'If you can keep your head when all around are losing theres, you'll be a man my son'? (I think that might be Rudyard Kiplings 'If' though.)

That is a very good question. It erk's me somtimes how people could care more about waht other people think about them than how they much they care about themselves. I never could find a way to explain this by just talking or typing, it seems as if I just cant get the words out. However, I have written a poem in the past, I hope you nor any one else finds it offensive. The poem is as follows:\nF**k you and your high society bulls**t rules\nYour so content to be alike, your such fools\nIm different than you and it makes me jump for joy\nYou care so much, society twist and turns you like a toy\nSo take your clan of dumbfounded minds and stuff it\nFrom looks to love to the size of clothes; that just wont fit\nYour mind works on a level thats considered primitive\nWhat happened to evolution, instead, your passive\nSo why dont you switch your side, here's the facts of life\nWhen you hold a standard for your own guilty strife\nYour left with a life of hate and most common shortcomings\nIve found and realized you live non-existent nothings\nYour determined that life is going in a set path with you in the lead\nYou dont understand, with that mindset you'll never succeed\nMy advice for a better world is simple, to thyself be true\nThrough this, you are your own person, with your choices due\nYour choice of what makes you, yourself, and others not\nNot to mean you live secretless and throw away your own spot\nYou decide what you are, who you are, and what you want to be\nNever let any one tell you your own feelings based on what THEY see.\nbored and thinking-may 29,06- "F**k Society"\n\nThis poem, I know, isn't anything fancy and is by far professional. I know it is flawwed and far from perfect. However, it shows what I feel and I wish everyone in some fashion could feel or atleast understand. I think it would make life much better for the rich and the needy, the pretty and the ugly, the happy and the sad, everyone big and small... lol, here I am sounding like some kindof activist or something. Im really not, just think a lot about how society puts a toll on every existing person weather they beleive in it or not.\n                                               Sincerely,\n                                                       Jamie

"The Peace of Wild Things."  by Wendell Berry \n\nWhen despair grows in me\nand I wake in the middle of the night at the least sound\nin fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,\nI go and lie down where the wood drake\nrests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.\nI come into the peace of wild things\nwho do not tax their lives with forethought\nof grief. I come into the presence of still water.\nAnd I feel above me the day-blind stars\nwaiting for their light. For a time\nI rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

A charm invests a face by Emily Dickinson  \n\nA charm invests a face\nImperfectly beheld.\nThe lady dare not lift her veil\nFor fear it be dispelled.\n\nBut peers beyond her mesh,\nAnd wishes, and denies,\nLest interview annul a want\nThat image satisfies. \n\nyou can find some critics about this poem here: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1414\n\n\n\nLife in a Love\nby Robert Browning  \n\nEscape me?\nNever—\nBeloved!\nWhile I am I, and you are you,\nSo long as the world contains us both,\nMe the loving and you the loth,\nWhile the one eludes, must the other pursue.\nMy life is a fault at last, I fear:\nIt seems too much like a fate, indeed!\nThough I do my best I shall scarce succeed.\nBut what if I fail of my purpose here? \nIt is but to keep the nerves at strain,\nTo dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,\nAnd baffled, get up to begin again,—\nSo the chase takes up one's life, that's all.\nWhile, look but once from your farthest bound,\nAt me so deep in the dust and dark,\nNo sooner the old hope drops to ground\nThan a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,\nI shape me—\nEver\nRemoved! \n \nthese r my favourite though i don't like poems...

Sometimes by Sheila Pugh \n    \nSometimes things don't go, after all \nfrom bad to worse. Some years muscadel \nfaces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail, \nsometimes a man aims high, and all goes well. \n\nA people sometimes will step back from war; \nelect an honest man; decide they care \nenough, that they can't leave some stranger poor. \nSome men become what they were born for. \n\nSometimes our best efforts do not go \namiss; sometimes we do as we mean to. \nThe sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow \nthat seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.

A common American idiom is ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. This idiom reminds us that patience will be rewarded, and will help you achieve your goals. An American might say, 'Settle down and be patient, John. Remember, all good things come to those who wait.' This saying originated with the French, and has been traced back to the early 1500's. In the United States, this idiom was made popular by the poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem, The Student's Tale
