"Eternal Love"

"ETERNAL LOVE"
No two ways about the reality,
Look up and down my love's eternity- - -
Keep one's word that i am the only one;
And jump for joy for the love should be done.

Pave the way for our shining future ,
To claim our new lease on life for sure- - -
Come with me and don't fly off the handle;
You light up my pathway like a candle.

For one's part you're the reason in my life,
Because of you I don't give up the fight- - -
Said "i love you" from the top of one's lungs;
At one's leisure try not to be all thumbs.

At the beck and call in the name of love,
Have a word vow with you and god above- - -
Hand in hand and forever you and I;
Through love's eternity until I die...

TREACHERY"   By: John Dexter Asedillo

YOU'RE THE REASON WHY IM HAPPY,
SUCH A GREAT DAZZLING NOR SOLEMNITY- - -
IM YOUR PROTECTOR AGAINST OBSTACLES;
AND YOU'RE MY CURATOR OF CLEVERNESS....

BUT I FEEL DESIROUS WITH YOUR BESTFRIEND,
NOW I THINK OUR LOVE NEAR TO THE END- - -
'CAUSE YOUR AFFECTATION IS DISSAPPEAR;
DIVERSIFY OF YOU THAT I CAN'T BEAR....

YOUR ALWAYS WITH HIM WHEN I NEED YOUR HAND,
I CONCLUDE THIS IS THE TIME TO DISBAND- - -
EVEN MY HEART STILL BEAT AND LONGS FOR YOU;
TO RUN AWAY IS ALL THAT I CAN DO. . .

LIFE'S MELANCHOLY THAT SO RADICAL......
CAN'T RECKON DISGRACE OF LOVE'S BETRAYAL- - -

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

I will persist! I will win!

I was not delivered unto this World in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
I will be likened to the rain drop which washes away the mountain, the ant that devours a tiger, the star which brightens the earth, and the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure.
I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter I will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once. I will persist until I succeed.
Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus I will plant the seed of tomorrow’s success and gain an insurmountable advance over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, then mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.
Nor will I allow yesterday’s success to lull me into today’s complacency, for this is the greatest foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.
So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist? For I know one of the greatest principles of success – if I persist long enough, I will win.
I will persist! I will win!
