Faith

When you come to the edge of all the light you've known,

and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,

Faith is knowing one of two things will happen,

there will be something solid to stand on or,

you will be taught how to fly.

this was on a card I purchased in the grocery store a while back I took a copy of the front of it, it doesn't give a citation, but it had a nice little drawing of a blue bird and the script on the card was a nice font too, I sent it to my girlfriend Kate, but I enjoy encountering it on my desk occasionaly too.

There is no Friend like the old friend

who has shares our morning days,

No greeting like his welcome,

no homage like his praise;

Fame is the scentless sunflower,

with gaudy crown of gold;

But friendship is the breathing rose,

with sweets in every fold.
