INVICTUS

Louis Untermeyer, ed. (1885–1977). Modern British Poetry.  1920.

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903
  
Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,   
  Black as the Pit from pole to pole,   
I thank whatever gods may be   
  For my unconquerable soul.   
 
In the fell clutch of circumstance             5
  I have not winced nor cried aloud.   
Under the bludgeonings of chance   
  My head is bloody, but unbowed.   
 
Beyond this place of wrath and tears   
  Looms but the Horror of the shade,      10
And yet the menace of the years   
  Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.   
 
It matters not how strait the gate,   
  How charged with punishments the scroll,   
I am the master of my fate:      15
  I am the captain of my soul.

In The Words Of Another 2.0

I've been working on being more grateful. Positive energy begets positive thoughts, actions, and a positive  lifestyle. What can make you happier than thinking about all the things you've been blessed with. :) I love happy people.




I am thankful for...
by Nancie J. Carmody


...the mess to clean up after a party
because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
...the taxes I pay
because it means that I'm employed.
...the clothes that fit a little too snug
because it means I have enough to eat.
...my shadow who watches me work
because it means I am out in the sunshine.
...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking.
...all the complaining I hear about our government
because it means we have freedom of speech.
...that lady behind me in church who sings off key
because it means that I can hear.
...lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing
because it means I have a home.
...my huge heating bill
because it means that I am warm.
...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day
because it means that I have been productive.
...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours
because it means that I am alive.
