Maya Angelou
HIGH FLIGHT
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
you have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
my eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And while with silent lifting mind I've trod
the high untresspassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God.
Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee

BE SOMEONE
Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares,
and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be
someone who comforts, and you will know peace.
Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be
someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone
who values truth, and you will be respected. Be someone who takes
action, and you will move life forward.
Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich. Be someone
filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which
you'll be thankful.
Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly
shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to
be.
Ralph Marston
LET THERE BE
PEACE ON EARTH
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on Earth,
the peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father,
brothers all are we/
Let me walk with my brother
in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take,
let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment
and live each moment
in peace, eternally.
Let there be peace on Earth,
and let it begin with me.
