LIFE.
Life is like the ocean
Broad and deep:
Billows of emotion
O'er it sweep;
We must battle boldly
With the tide,
Lest it waft us coldly
Far and wide.

Life is bright or dreary
Where we dwell;
Though our feet are weary,
All is well,
Ever bravely pressing
On our way;
Fairer is the blessing
Day by day.

Lite is like a jewel
In the rough;
Cut it, be not cruel
Just enough.
Polish, till its glory
Full, divine,
Tells a noble story;
Even thine.
