See it through!


When you’re up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it’s vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!

Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!

Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you’re beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don’t give up, whate’er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!

People on front lines...

"The people who are on the front lines
every day in hospitals, nurses, the people
who are running clinics, the people who
are taking care of your children, those are
the people who are the lovers of the world,
are the good of the world."

There was a boy ...

"There was a boy ye knew him well, ye rocks
And islands of Winander & ye green
Peninsulas of Esthwaite many a time
When the stars began
To move along the edges of the hills
Rising or setting would he stand alone
Beneath the trees or by the glimmering lakes
And through his fingers woven in one close knot
Blow mimic hootings to the silent owls
And bid them answer him. And they would shout
Across the wat'ry vale & shout again
Responsive to my call with tremulous sobs
And long halloos & screams & echoes loud
Redoubled & redoubled a wild scene
Of mirth & jocund din. And when it chanced
That pauses of deep silence mocked my skill
Then, often, in that silence while I hung
Listening a sudden shock of mild surprize
Would carry far into my heart the voice
Of mountain torrents: or the visible scene
Would enter unawares into my mind
With all its solemn imagery its rocks
Its woods & that uncertain heaven received
Into the bosom of the steady lake . . ."

William Wordsworth
