    “Myself

    I have to live with myself and so
    I want to be fit for myself to know.
    I want to be able as days go by,
    always to look myself straight in the eye;
    I don't want to stand with the setting sun
    and hate myself for the things I've done.
    I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
    a lot of secrets about myself
    and fool myself as I come and go
    into thinking no one will ever know
    the kind of person I really am,
    I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
    I want to go out with my head erect
    I want to deserve all men's respect;
    but here in the struggle for fame and pelf
    I want to be able to like myself.
    I don't want to look at myself and know
    I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
    I never can hide myself from me;
    I see what others may never see;
    I know what others may never know,
    I never can fool myself and so,
    whatever happens I want to be
    self respecting and conscience free.”
    Edgar A. Guest

    Princes & Kings

    Isn't it strange how princes and kings,
    and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
    and common people, like you and me,
    are builders for eternity?

    Each is given a list of rules;
    a shapeless mass; a bag of tools.
    And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
    A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone.”
    R. Lee Sharpe
