Inspiration
Come now my friend, of a melancholy mood and depression,
Use a little energy to lift your eyelids and witness the miracles of
nature.
Allow the tiny voice of conscience to peal through and I’m sure you
shall receive an inspiration.
Just to recognize and ponder only one of your God’s creations, you
surely are not a failure.
It may appear in the chirp of a small defenseless bird, or in the ruth
less rumble of an earthquake,
Or perhaps in a unique coloring of the sky, and maybe in the mys
tery of the ozone.
Just remember the tiny wail of a little babe, or the attractions of a
favorite lake.
But the most impressive of all in our depths of despair is to recall
that your God is ever near, as a king on a throne.
Now find the courage to lift your head, and survey the many gifts to
mortal man.
And repeat to yourself the very stabilizing words of “I CAN.”

Martha
Washington
There was a Martha Washington
Martha Washington the great.
Who helped the wounded soldiers
Upon the northern lakes.
For goodness sake!!
What would Martha Washing
ton
Be doing on the Battle fields?
Protecting wounded soldiers
Until their wounds had healed.
There was a Martha Washington
Martha Washington the fair.
Who married great George Wash
ington.
ATTACK HIM IF YOU DARE!
Now this was Martha Washing
ton,
As plainest dressed could be.
She put on her favorite party
dress
As soon as we were free.
And all the good Brave soldiers.
Very, very brave.
Came to thank Martha Washing
ton
For the way she had behaved.
I like Martha Washington
Martha Washington the good.
She always did her duty
Her duty as she should.
(Written by Lydia Ruth Mc
Gaughey, Age 11, Kenai.)
My Alaska!
Alaska, to a real Alaskan
Is like a mighty rock
She’s rough, she’s tough and a
challenge
Like a door that’s hard to un
lock
She’s rough but yet a refuge
To those who find the key
It takes much more than courage
To wrest a home for a family.
Takes years of back-breaking la
bor
But you learn to love this Land
Heai-t-breaks and disappointments
Just travel hand in hand.
So, here’s to the homesteaders
To those who are here to stay
They create a beautiful painting
Of Alaska—day by day.
The guts, the grit and the stamina
Of people such as these
Is just what makes Alaska
The great country that it is.
The Whaleys and the Brinkleys
Can chip and chip away
But the mighty rock—ALASKA
Is forever here to stay.

Sterling, Alaska.
