The Friendship Book by Francis Gay 1990

Here's an excerpt.

 

A poem by J.M. Robertson:

"Life can be a journey

With many variations,

A challenge---an adventure,

with changing destinations.

It starts at Optimism,

Then moves along the way,

Passing through Confusion,

Delight, and then Dismay.

There's the all-important question,

That the cross-roads stop entails---

Take the straight and narrow,

Or wander off the rails?

Watch out for the sign-posts,

And study them with care.

Some can lead to Happiness,

Others to Despair.

Though no one knows for certain

What lies around the bend,

Always travel hopefully

Until the journey's end."

Inspiring No?  I liked reading this.  It reminds me that everything's gonna be okay. No matter how gloomy everything in seems to be.
