Larry’s Inspirational “Poems” “Quotes” “Songs” Larry I. Bell Multicultural America, Inc. www.larry-bell.com [email protected] Happenstance The Cold Within Six humans traveled by happenstance Through the dark and bitter cold Each one possessed one stick of wood Or so the story goes The first woman held hers back She could tell by the faces of the five That one of them was Black The next man sitting across the way Saw one not of his church And could not bring himself to give the fire His stick of birch The poor man sat back And gave his coat a hitch Why should his stick of wood Be used to warm the rich The rich man sat back and thought Of all the wealth he had in store Why should his stick of wood be used To warm the lazy, shiftless poor The Black man’s face bespoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight Because all he saw in his stick of wood Was a chance to spite the White The last man of this forlorn group Did nothing except for his gain Giving only to those who gave to him Was how he played the game Their logs held tight in their now stilled hands Is proof of human sin Because they did not die from the cold without They died from the cold within It Can’t Be Done Someone said that it couldn’t be done But she with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn’t, but she would be the one Who wouldn’t say so ‘till she tried. So she buckled right in With a trace of a grin One her face, if she worried She hid it! She started to sing, as she Tackled the thing That couldn’t be done And she did it! Somebody scoffed, “Oh you’ll never do that!” At least no one has ever done it. So she took off her hat and she Took off her coat And the next thing we knew She’d begun it. With a tilt of her chin And a bit of a grin Without any doubting or quiddit She started to sing And she tackled the thing That couldn’t be done And she did it! There are thousands to tell you That it cannot be done There are thousands to prophesy failure There are thousands to point out to you One by one, all of the dangers that wait to assail you But, just buckle right in with a bit of a grin Just take off your coats and go to it Just start to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done And you will do it! Edward R. Guest A Lesson from Robert Frost Robert Frost is my favorite poet. Although I love many of his poems, my favorite is The Road Less Traveled. I use its lesson almost daily: The Road Less Traveled Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden back. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and II took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost (1916) Mother to Son Well son, I’ll tell you Life for me aint been no crystal stair It’s had tacks in it, and boards torn up And places with no carpet on the floor-bare But all the time I’ve been climbing And reaching landings And turning corners And sometimes going in the dark Where there aint been no light So don’t you stop now And don’t you sit down Just cause it seem kind of hard Don’t you turn around now Because I’s still climbing And life for me Aint been no crystal stair Langston Hughes Larry’s 20 Favorite Sayings If we keep on doing what we’ve always done we’re going to keep on getting what we’ve always gotten.

A children’s race, young boys, young men; how I remember well, excitement sure, but also fear, it wasn’t hard to tell. They all lined up so full of hope, each thought to win that race or tie for first, or if not that, at least take second place. Their parents watched from off the side, each cheering for their son, and each boy hoped to show his folks that he would be the one. The whistle blew and off they flew, like chariots of fire, to win, to be the hero there, was each young boy’s desire. One boy in particular, whose dad was in the crowd, was running in the lead and thought “My dad will be so proud.” But as he speeded down the field and crossed a shallow dip, the little boy, who thought he’d win, lost his step and slipped. Trying hard to catch himself, his arms flew everyplace, and midst the laughter of the crowd he fell flat on his face. As he fell, his hope fell too; he couldn’t win it now. Humiliated, he just wished to disappear somehow. But as he fell his dad stood up and showed his anxious face, which to the boy so clearly said, “Get up and win that race!” He quickly rose, no damage done, behind a bit that’s all, and ran with all his mind and might to make up for his fall. So anxious to restore himself, to catch up and to win, his mind went faster than his legs. He slipped and fell again. He wished that he had quit before with only one disgrace. “I’m hopeless as a runner now, I shouldn’t try to race.” But through the laughing crowd he searched and found his father’s face with a steady look that said again, “Get up and win that race!” So he jumped up to try again, ten yards behind the last, “If I’m to gain those yards,” he thought, “I’ve got to run real fast!” Exceeding everything he had, he regained eight, then, ten… but trying hard to catch the lead, he slipped and fell again. Defeat! He lay there silently. A tear dropped from his eye. “There’s no sense running anymore! Three strikes I’m out! Why try? I’ve lost, so what’s the use?” he thought. “I’ll live with my disgrace.” But then he thought about his dad, who soon he’d have to face. “Get up,” an echo sounded low, “You haven’t lost at all, for all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall.” Get up! The echo urged him on, “Get up and take your place! You were not meant for failure here! Get up and win that race!” So, up he rose to run once more, refusing to forfeit, and he resolved that win or lose, at least he wouldn’t quit. So far behind the others now, the most he’d ever been, still he gave it all he had and ran like he could win. Three times he’d fallen stumbling, three times he rose again. Too far behind to hope to win, he still ran to the end. They cheered another boy who crossed the line and won first place, head high and proud and happy – no falling, no disgrace. But, when the fallen youngster crossed the line, in last place, the crowd gave him a greater cheer for finishing the race. And even though he came in last with head bowed low, unproud, you would have thought he’d won the race, to listen to the crowd. And to his dad he sadly said, “I didn’t do so well.” “To me, you won,” his father said. “You rose each time you fell.” And now when things seem dark and bleak and difficult to face, the memory of that little boy helps me in my own race. For all of life is like that race, with ups and downs and all. And all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall. And when depression and despair shout loudly in my face, another voice within me says, “Get up and win that race!” Heading: Martin Luther King Jr. Comprehension Quiz, Tic-Tac-Toe Directions: Select three questions to make a tic-tac-toe for the quiz (vertical, horizontal or diagonal).
