Looking Back
Arthur Lipsitt, of blessed memory, (1900-1994) happily resided at Borman Hall for almost twenty years. In his lifetime he penned more than 400 poems - starting at the age of fifteen until just before he died. As a poet and a writer, he used words to express his deepest thoughts and his perceptive observations of life, as a young person, as a husband, as a father, as a grandfather, as a resident of the Jewish Home for Aged and as a person with a positive attitude toward living. He was an inspiration to many and we share one of his thoughtful poems with you this week:
Every Day
By: Arthur Lipsitt
Greet every day with gladness
When first you see the light.
There is no need for sadness.
You made it through the night.
The day may not be perfect.
The sky may not be blue.
But luck will walk beside you
And help you see it through.
Don't fret about tomorrow
Just do your best today
For sunshine follows sorrow
As blue skies follow gray.
Greet every day with gladness
As if it were a friend.
There may be a blessing waiting
Somewhere around the bend.
