“‘Today unsullied comes to thee–newborn.
Tomorrow is not thine;
The sun may cease to shine
For thee, ere earth shall greet its morn.
“Be earnest, then, in thought and deed,
Nor fear approaching night;
Calm comes with evening light,
And hope and peace. Thy duty heed ‘today.’”
If people’s first thoughts were but as good and wise as their after thoughts, life would be better and more beautiful than it is. We can all see our errors more clearly after we have committed them than we saw them before. We frequently hear persons utter the wish that they could go again over a certain period of their life, saying that they would live it differently, that they would not repeat the mistakes or follies which had so marred and stained the record they had made.
