Though the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. ~ Helen Keller

What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. ~ Helen Keller

My Grief Is Like a River

My grief is like a river--
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.

I crash on rocks of anger--
My faith seems faith indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels
I'll reach the shore at last.
~ Cynthia G. Kelley

The quality, not the longevity of one's life, is what is important. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Each one of us is born for a specific reason and purpose, and each one of us will die when he or she has accomplished whatever was to be accomplished. The in-between depends on our own willingness to make the best of every day, of every moment, of every opportunity. The choice is always yours. ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
