Outwitted...

by Edwin Markham

He drew a circle that shut me out —

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

But Love and I had the wit to win:

We drew a circle that took him in!

Hope

When the rain keeps coming,
And good friends keep leaving,
Times are changing,
And hearts dangerously hanging,
Hope gets us through,
And helps us to do,
What we are called to begin,
And what we are called to finish.
