The Future

“The worst is yet to come:”

So wail the doubters glum,

But here’s the better view:

“My best I’ve yet to do.”

The worst some always fear;

To-morrow holds no cheer,

Yet farther on life’s lane

Are joys you shall attain.

Go forward bravely, then,

And play your part as men,

For this is ever true:

“Our best we’ve yet to do.”
