The most wonderful journey of all is the journey of life. In that journey there will come many joys and there will come some sorrows. The joys will fill the soul and the sorrows will make you strong. Above all, always be optimistic. Do not think of the dusk as the setting of the sun, but as the beginning of the dawn.

The pessimist knows only pain

Imagined darts are hurled

Hit daily by a fancied train

Struck down by this cruel world

He walks his life from bad to worse

And never sees the sun

And ends in a slow moving hearse

His dreary life thus done

The optimist knows life is joy

With challenges ahead

He knows the world is but a toy

And not a thing to dread

The optimist knows life is filled

With obstacles in reams

But walks the road how high it’s hilled

With love and hope and dreams
