http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Pirate Serene I fold my hands and wait, nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more against time and fate, for lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays; For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, for what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day the friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart will reap where it has sown, and garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own, and draw the brook that springs in yonder heights. So flows the good with equal law unto the of pure delights. The stars come nightly to the sky, the tidal wave unto the sea; nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, can keep my own away from me. en-us http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Pirate/19426 <p>I know a little zigzag boy, who goes this way and that; he never knows just where he puts his coat, or shoes, or hat.</p> <p>I know a little zigzag girl, who flutters here and there; she never knows just where to find her brush to fix her hair.</p> <p>If you are not a zigzag child, you'll have no cause to say that you forgot, for you will know where things are put away.</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Pirate/19343 <p>It is easy to laugh when the skies are blue and the sun is shining bright; Yes, easy to laugh when your friends are true and there is happiness in sight; But when hope has fled and skies are grey, and the friends of the past have turned away, Ah, then indeed its a heros feat to conjure a smile in the face of defeat.</p> <p>Its easy to laugh when the storm is over and your ship is safe at port; Yes, easy to laugh when you're on the shore secure from tempest's sport; But when wild waves wash over the storm swept deck and your gallant ship is a battered wreck, Ah, that is the time when it is well worth while to look in the face of defeat and smile.</p> <p>Its easy to laugh when the battles faught and you know that the victory is won; Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you sought is yours when the race is run; But here is to the man who can laugh when the blast of adversity blows; he will conquer at last, for the hardest man in the world to beat is the man who can laugh in the face of defeat.</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Pirate/18341 <font size="2">Serene I fold my hands and wait, nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more against time and fate, for lo! my own shall come to me.<br /> I stay my haste, I make delays; For what avails this eager pace?
