If you stop all your dreaming and planning, You will find yourself tethered and boundg Only hopes that soar upward will conquer, All the barriers that round you are foundg For the day as it now is--be happy For the morrow must come and it willg Giving hope that is new and inspiring, All your dreaming and plans to fulfill. --Edith Danielson
