A poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Attainment [There is no summit you may not attain]

________________________________________________
Title:     Attainment [There is no summit you may not attain]
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

There is no summit you may not attain,
No purpose which you may not yet achieve,
If you will wait serenely and believe.
Each seeming loss is but a step to'rd gain.

Between the mountain-tops lie vale and plain;
Let nothing make you question, doubt, or grieve;
Give only good, and good alone receive;
And as you welcome joy, so welcome pain.

That which you most desire awaits your word;
Throw wide the door and bid it enter in.
Speak, and the strong vibrations shall be stirred;
Speak, and above earth's loud, unmeaning din
Your silent declarations shall be heard.
All things are possible to God's own kin.





[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Attainment [There is no summit you may not attain]
