May you root like a dandelion,
break ground like crocus,
Hold on like ivy,
and climb like a rose.

But I trust in your unfailing love. . .

This is to have succeeded.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings. . .
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. . .

Chickenisms
Don't get your feathers ruffled.
Just give me a peck on the cheek.
He's a henpecked husband.
She's low on the pecking order.
Don't lay an egg!
It just costs chicken feed.
She ruled the roost.
He flew the coop.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Which came first--the chicken or the egg?
She's no spring chicken!
She's such a mother hen.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
She's on the nest. . .

Vision
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.

Riches I heed not. . . .
High King of heaven. . .
