Behind His smiling face.

Bosmaatjes: Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Spill_Words: In-School Days
By John Greenleaf Whittier
Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar sleeping;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry-vines are creeping.
Within, the master's desk is seen,
cgeclectics: The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun.
~John Greenleaf Whittier, "My Psalm"
