Never Too Late

What then? Shall we sit idly down and say

The night has come; it is no longer day?

Something remains for us to do, or dare;

Even the oldest tree some fruit may bear;

For age is opportunity no less

Than youth itself, though in another dress,

And as the evening twilight fades away

The sky is filled with stars invisible by day.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807 – 1882

As you can see by the dates that the author lived, the idea is not new. It has been proved again and again by people like Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, and you and me. It is never too late to act on your dreams and to make a difference that is meaningful to you. Go for it! Begin today!

It Is Never, Ever Too Late

 Get well wishes

Are welcome words indeed,

They sound almost delicious

And satisfy your needs.

How swell to be remembered

With cards and plants and food,

Cheer dwells in one’s heart chambers

And quells more somber moods.

Fare thee well oh injured “mal-mate”,

Go on a mending spree!

It is never, ever too late

To be well as well can be.
