Poetic Verses

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Finds us further than to-day.

And a few friends, and many books, both true,
both wise, and both delightful too.

=================
The stars
I wonder
as I gaze up at the stars
if somewhere,
way out there,
a star is looking back at me
and wondering the same…

What is interesting to me,
although sometimes sad to see,
is on the clearest of nights
with so many twinkling lights
that out there in the starkness
there is even more darkness
and though they still shine by day
the stars are hidden away.
