EXPECTATION! ANTICIPATION!
REALIZATION!

GOD GIVES US POWER WE SO SELDOM EMPLOY
FOR WE'VE SO UNAWARE IT IS FILLED WITH SUCH JOY,
FOR THE GIFT THAT GOD GIVES US IS ANTICIPATION,
WHICH WE CAN FULFILL WITH SINCERE EXPECTATION.
AND THERE'S POWER IN BELIEF WHEN WE THINK WE WILL FIND
JOY FOR THE HEART AND SWEET PEACE FOR THE MIND,
FOR BELIEVING THE DAY WILL BRING A SURPRISE
IS NOT ONLY PLEASANT BUT SURPRISINGLY WISE.
FOR WE OPEN THE DOOR TO LET JOY WALK THROUGH
WHEN WE LEARN TO EXPECT THE BEST AND MOST TOO,
AND BELIEVING WE'LL FIND A HAPPY SURPRISE
MAKES REALITY OUT OF A FANCIED SURMISE!

NEVER BE DISCOURAGED, FOR THERE COMES DAILY TO ALL WOMEN AND MEN THE CHANCE TO MAKE ANOTHER START AND BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN.
