Hi everyone!

After looking at this Web Site it has become apparent the inspirational poems section is lacking! So, for those who are inspired by great poetry you will find in the next few days a great addition!

Excerpts of the ‘Poems of Inspiration’ Collection is a wonderful and inspiring compilation of poems. This collection will be added to the inspirational poems page at dontlosefaith.com.  Here’s the first one for you. It’s called the arrow and the song:

We can calculate with fair accuracy the number of miles an automobile will go in an hour. We can gauge pretty closely the amount of merchandise a given sum of money will buy. But a good deed or a kind impulse is not measurable. Their influence works in devious ways and lives on when perhaps we can see them no more.

  I shot an arrow into the air,
  It fell to earth, I knew not where;
  For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
  Could not follow it in its flight.

  I breathed a song into the air,
  It fell to earth, I knew not where;
  For who has sight so keen and strong,
  That it can follow the flight of song?

  Long, long afterward, in an oak
  I found the arrow, still unbroke;
  And the song, from beginning to end,
  I found again in the heart of a friend.

Poet's Name:
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
