Will I be forgiven

If I closed my eyes with my sins,
would I be forgiven tomorrow?
If I never have strayed,
Could I have been better?
If my wrongs humble me,
Would I be humble if I am proud of it?
In the end there is only hope,
Hope for a never ending mercy

When you are in control

Time flows by me like a river,
and I try my best to make sense,
of all the things I can ponder,
to all the thing I can barely glance.

I do agree it is beautiful,
all the array of colors,
but sometimes it's more than a mouthful,
...

Oh man,
I can't write nuthing...
Mind drawing blanks...

'If'

Found this while stumbling at 'http://torch.cs.dal.ca/~johnston/poetry/if.html'

'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 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 imposters 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 worn-out 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!

Rudyard Kipling
