Forgive the Past—and forget it!—don't carry a grudge against
graveyards.
Accept the Present—you have to—here it is.
Concentrate on the Future—still yours to make—and get busy!
A CENTRAL SUN
A Song
Given a central sun—and a rolling world;
Into the light we whirl—and call it day;
Into the dark we turn—and call it night;
Glow of the dawn—glory of midday light—
Shadow of eve—rest of the fragrant night
And the dawn again!
Given a constant Power—and a passing frame;
Into the light we grow—and call it life;
Into the dark we go—and call It death;
Glory of youth—beauty and pride and power—
Shadow of age—rest of the final hour—
And are born again!
REASONABLE RESOLUTIONS
The trouble with our "New Year Resolutions" is that they are too personal. We are always fussing about our little individual tempers and weaknesses and bad habits.
While we, Socially, behave as badly as we do, we individually can accomplish little.
Says the wiseacre—"Ah! but if each of us was individually perfect
Society would be perfect!"
