I believed in a rainbow of lies seven thousand of them

here are two poems which i found rather interesting n comforting in a way. i hope that whoever reads it enjoys it too.

on faith, when we think god is so far away

"e'en as a nurse, whose child's imperfect pace
can hardly lead his foot from place to place
leaves her fond kissing, sets him down to go,
nor does uphold him for a step or two;
but when she finds that he begins to fall
she holds him up, and kisses him withal:-
so god frm man sometimes withdraws his hand
awhile to teach his infant faith to stand;
but when he sees his feeble strength begin
to fail, he gently takes him up again"
-francis quarles

on joy

"he who bends to himself a joy
doth the winged life destroy:
but he who kisses the joy as it flies
lives in eternity's sunrise"
-william blake

the a's are approaching and with it, a chance to glory.
what we've achievd or how we've failed is immaterial.
what matters is now, lets go out and make ourselves proud.
there really is no point giving up now.
a lot can be done in 2 weeks.
or m i kidding myself?

once loved.
