HABITS

A habit is a sticky thing;Much good or evil it can bring;It binds a victim, holds him fast,And keeps him in a vise-like grasp.

Bad habits grow with extra speed,Much like a healthy, growing weed.The roots grow deep, the stem grows stout; Howdifficult to pull it out!

Good habits are a little slow;They need a lot of care to grow;If tended well, they grow more fairThan any bloom a plant can bear.

Good habits help us all through life;Bad habits bring us pain and strife;Our habits, whether right or wrong,Each day will grow more firm and strong.

The sky is low

THE sky is low, the clouds are mean, A travelling flake of snow Across a barn or through a rut Debates if it will go.

A narrow wind complains all day How some one treated him; Nature, like us, is sometimes caught Without her diadem.

Emily Dickinson
