In this week's poem, we look at the lesson of the village blacksmith- The choices we have to forge our own path in life.

You can read the article at:

Longfellow's -The Village Blacksmith
Longfellow's poem reminds us of the value of hard work and the rest that comes from completing a task.

ALWAYS FINISH

If a task is once begun,
Never leave it till it's done.
Be the labor great or small,
Do it well or not at all.
