Move Past This Poem by Catherine Pulsifer, ©2019 When you are feeling down And all you can muster up is a frown That is the time to stop And count your blessings until you drop.

Take A Walk Around Yourself Poem by Unknown Poet When you're criticising others, And are finding, here and there, A fault or two to speak of Or a weakness you can tear: When you're blaming some one's weakness, Or accusing some of pelf - It's time that you went out To take a walk around yourself. There's lots of human failures In the average of us all, And lots of grave short comings In the short ones and the tail; But when we think of evils Men should lay upon the shelves, It's time we all went out To take a walk around ourselves. We need so often in this life This balancing of scales, This seeing how much in us wins And how much in us fails; But before you judge another - Just to lay him on the shelf - It would be a splendid plan To take a walk around yourself.

Guest 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!
