Lone eagles, soaring in the clouds, fly with silent, peaceful poise,While turkeys, in their earth-bound crowds, fill the atmosphere with noise.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility -- these are marks of maturity and graciousness.

Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life, keep me free from birth, give me hope, help me cope, with this heavy load, trying to, touch and reach you with, heart and soul

We must be silent before we can listen.We must listen before we can learn.We must learn before we can prepare.We must prepare before we can serve.We must serve before we can lead.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Earth rejoices our words, breathing and peaceful steps. Let every breath, every word and every step make the mother earth proud of us.
