Reader's Comments Home Contents Search Post ... Previous Up regarding poem 'Don't Quit' From: Category: Poems/Quotes Date: 26 Jan 2002 Time: Remote Name: Comments This poem was written by Edgar A Guest.. often refered to as the common man's poet. A bit of history... Edgar Guest was a writer for the Detroit News (Michigan)and had his poetry published in the paper for many years. I am proud to say that I knew Edgar Guest as a young child... My grandpa was his friend and many a times I went with him to the Detroit News to visit with Mr Guest... he always gave me "blank newspaper" to do my doodles on while they visited and always lavished me with praise before we left. another of his poems that has been among my favorites: SEE IT THROUGH by Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959) When you're up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it's vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through! Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don't let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you, See it through!

A Christian Faith Magazine December 2003, Volume 9, Issue 5 On Going Home for Christmas Print Friendly Page He little knew the sorrow that was in his vacant chair; He never guessed they'd miss him, or he'd surely have been there; He couldn't see his mother or the lump that filled her throat, Or the tears that started falling as she read his hasty note; And he couldn't see his father sitting sorrowful and dumb, Or he never would have written that he thought he couldn't come. He little knew the gladness that his presence would have made, And the joy it would have given, or he never would have stayed. He didn't know how hungry had the little mother grown Once again to see her baby and to claim him for her own. He didn't guess the meaning of his visit Christmas Day Or he never would have written that he couldn't get away. He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks that once were pink, And the silver in the tresses; and he didn't stop to think How the years are passing swiftly, and next Christmas it might be There would be no home to visit and no mother dear to see.

TenderBytes.Net Classic Gems from the Public Domain Poet, feed a hungry reader. Give me rhyme with solid meter. June, 1997 . Some of my favorites are being written today, not by the recognized poets of our time but by people I know and respect. Meanwhile, here are ten timeless treasures that I've loved longer, if not better. As much as I dearly enjoy humor-oriented light verse, you won't see any of it in this line-up, nor will you see any highbrow. Each poem listed below is one that is special to me either because of the familiarity of growing up with it, or because it has deeply touched my emotions in some way, or even simply because I love the sound of it. I hope you'll find one or all of these to be memorable for reasons of your own.

Index About Me Updates Webrings ... Contact Since The Baby Came Time was that I could lie me down to sleep an hour or two. Or take a friendly book in hand and sit and read it through. Time was that I could hum a tune or loudly shout the same. But that was in the distant past before the Baby came. Once I was master in my house and boldly had my way. I'd cross the threshold with a grin and shout a glad hooray! But mightier monarch rules the home, and I am in eclipse, The shout of joy is silenced by her finger on her lips. Time was I bravely slammed a door or called downstairs for aid. Or boldly walked from room to room in search of things mislaid; But now I tiptoe round the place, a narrow path I take, And I must hold my tongue until the little tyke's awake! The home is not as once it was, we've built our lives anew. We're doing not the things we choose, but what she makes us do; A tiny tyrant rules us all, the house is hers to own, And that small crib wherein she lies is mightier than a throne.

Innovation and Creativity in the Workplace Program/Project Management Resource List #10 Revised December 2001 Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library Contents: Articles Books Innovation and creativity are key elements of successful project management. The only difference between creative people and those who believe they lack such ability may be that the former see themselves as innovators. As journalist/poet, Edgar Guest (1881-1959) wrote in "It Couldn't Be Done" (cited in The Manager's Book of Quotations NY: American Management Association, 1989): Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one Who wouldn't say no till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. This bibliography focuses on the role of management in providing employees the tools and environment conducive to creativity and innovation.

For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two, or three, But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, And shall his stay be brief, You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, as all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

TiVo executives say they will be gathering information only in the aggregate, keeping individual user data anonymous. "Advertisers and programmers undoubtedly will want to understand how the technology will impact viewer behavior, and this is the first opportunity for them to get data to understand how viewers are using the technology," says an IDC analyst. Unlike traditional TV rating surveys that indicate which shows consumers are watching, the TiVo data reveals *how* viewers are watching at which points they're fast-forwarding or rewinding for an instant replay. For instance, during the Grammy Awards, TiVo noticed a spike in instant replays when Julia Roberts walked on stage to give an award. TiVo's measurement service will initially focus on viewer habits during prime-time programs and will be marketed as a quarterly subscription report. Customized data will be available as well.
