THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Some ships go east, and some go
west,
Whilst the self-same wind doth
blow,
For it’s redder and sail, and not
the gale,
Decide wber 6 the ship shall go.
Nor wind, nor gale, controls our
fate,
As we journey along through life;
It’s the set of the soul decides the
goal,
And not the calm aor the strife.
—Wilcox.
