On Easy Sailing
“There’s no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue,
There’s no joy in merely doing things, which anyone can do.
But there is some satisfaction that is might sweet to take,
When you reach a destination that you thought you’d never make.”
~ Spirella

Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer
for each prayer.
