Marcus - Start |
Monday, October 31, 1927 |
Today I start my life for good; I am determined now to find The value of my real manhood; And not to travel as if blind. am yet young in age and hope; I shall so think and do aright, Things human, and, all in my scope, To make of life a shining light. There shall be no mistake in plan, For time does not permit to lose, And win again, the race of man; Hence, now I start, and rightly choose. I shall not travel wild to find That I have fallen almost flat, Then rise to weep and leave behind That I a coward was for that. So find yourself in early age, To know what you shall be in life; Then go and write on hist'ry's page The victories of your daily strife; For every man is battling you, To cross the plain, with haste to win- And hoist the flag in colors blue- Then show the world where he has been. |
