HOW TO ADD TEN YEARS
TO YOUR LIFE
AND TO DOUBLE ITS SATISFACTIONS
BY
S. S. CURRY, Ph.D., Litt.D.
Can you wake as wake the birds?
In their joy and singing share?
Stretch your limbs as do the herds,
And drink as deep the morning air?
Quick as larks on upward wing,
Can you shun the demon's wiles,
Promptly as the robins sing,
Can you change all frowns to smiles?
Can you spurn fear's coward whine,
Meet each day with joyous song?
Then will angels guard your shrine,
Joys be deep and life be long.
