This week‘s poem is: ‘Solitude’ by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Ella started writing poems at an early age. She studied at the University of Wisconsin but left after a year to focus on her writing. She became well known as a poet in her own state by the time she had graduated from high school. She was a popular poetess compared to her counterparts; in her poems, she expresses feelings of joyfulness and optimism.

Solitude By Ella Wheeler Wilcox  

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; 

Weep, and you weep alone; 

For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, 

But has trouble enough of its own. 

Sing, and the hills will answer; 

Sigh, it is lost on the air; 

The echoes bound to a joyful sound,

 But shrink from voicing care. 

 Rejoice, and men will seek you; 

Grieve, and they turn and go; 

They want full measure of all your pleasure, 

But they do not need your woe. 

Be glad, and your friends are many; 

Be sad, and you lose them all, 

There is none to decline your nectared wine, 

But alone you must drink life's gall.  

Feast, and your halls are crowded; 

Fast, and the world goes by. 

Succeed and give, and it helps you live, 

But no man can help you die. 

There is room in the halls of pleasure 

For a large and lordly train, 

But one by one we must all file on 

Through the narrow aisles of pain.

This week‘s poem is “what actually love is” from an unknown author

I believe that we all deserve love in our life, so I decided to share this poem with you. Love is an essential emotion in everyone’s life. It makes us feel alive in a way that nothing else can. Love is a complex feeling, despite that, we can't all agree on a distinct definition of love. But as humans are emotional creatures I think we can agree that love plays an important role in all our lives. Thank you

This week‘s poem is the beautiful ‘Footprints in the sand by Margaret Fishback Powers.

Margaret Fishback Powers is the author of the world-famous "Footprints" poem. When she wrote the poem back in 1964 she was a young woman seeking direction in her life, travelling the world as an evangelist for more than twenty-five years.

Little did she know then how famous Footprints in the sand would become, and how it would go on to become such a well known symbolic spiritual poem. It depicts a person who sees two pairs of footprints in the sand, one of which belonged to God and another to him or herself. At some point, the two pairs of footprints dwindle to one, and that is where God carried the protagonist.

Footprints in the Sand is very special to me and people everywhere because it tells about our unique relationship with God.

This week‘s poem is: ‘Don’t quit’ by Edgar Albert Guest. Edgar Albert Guest was a British-born American poet who was well known in the first half of the 20th century and became known as the People's Poet. His poems often have an inspirational and positive view of daily life.
