Cladd Poem When the doors around us open, We step forward in the dawn, And survey the world around us Like a wobbly legged fawn. To find a way or make a way Is the goal before us now. As wc go into the world today, We’ll try to earn renown. Not all of life is lovely; There are the sad parts too. Don’t let our life depress you. You will come struggling through. The road’s not always easy; The paths are rough, they say. Our spirits can’t be conquered — We’ll find or make a way. f 23) Lillian Brusseau Ellen Claus
