The book that I found in the library was a book filled with many poems that the author liked. I chose one of those to write in my KiddieLiter Blog.
They say that God lives very high!
But if you look above the pines
You cannot see our God. And why?
and if you dig down in the mines
You never see Him in the gold,
Though from Him all that’s glory shines.
God is so good, He wears a fold
Of heaven and earth across His face-
Like secrets kept, for love untold.
But still I feel that His embrace
Slides down by thrills, through all things made,
Through sight and sound of every place:
As if my tender mother laid
On my shut lids her kisses’ pressure,
Half-waking me at night and said,
“Who kissed you through the dark, dear guesser?”

One’s quest necessitates making decisions that can lead to success or can lead to a standstill, but the important thing to remember is to not worry — soon things will start happening if one perseveres. Even so, sometimes making the right decisions in life can be perplexing and daunting to the point that it seems useless to go on. But one must not acquire a defeatist mindset and wind up waiting (and accomplishing nothing) in The Waiting Place. The Waiting Place is filled with many people and shouldn’t be one’s final destination.
One’s name is inconsequential. Persistence, perseverance, and sometimes going in a new direction, are factors that foster one’s success. By employing them, Dr. Seuss states that success is 98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed!
