CLASS, POEM IN THE HOLLOW OF GOD'S HAND lYouth is magnificent, For in it we have wonderful dreams That are not yet disturbed by common sense. Youth is ambitious and enthusiastic. It knows no limit. And we, who are youth itself, Dash into the river of life 5 To be swept through years of uncertainty Or caught on an island of security. We leave behind the outstretched arms of edu- ca ion Which has mothered and taught us Which byways to avoid And how to get along in the future. Indeed, we, youth, have a sacred and monstrous X job before us The lob of rebuilding the world. Shourid we let our ideal dreams of peace and se- cu y Crumble with age? Or should we foster them and try to bring them into reality? It will be for God to decide, For He is the ruler and we are only His servants. He gives us the ideas, We only fulfill them. If His decision is a world of brotherly love, Let this be our prayer. Oh, God, guide us in our future days. Help us better and mend our ways. Suffer us not to war again Through disaster, death, and pain, But let us lead the world To the peace and happiness unfurled By your Holy hand. Let us tell our children of the plight That the world was sunk in over night And help us teach them of the need Of abolishing distinction of race, color and creed. Let us call upon your wise advice When in fear of our nation's sacrifice To another country. Let our great and mighty nation rise, 'Til the Everlasting Peace comes from the skies, To lead the world from disastrous fate Which might lead to hell's fiery gate. And wash the war torn world's face of sin. We pray to You, for we all are in The Hollow of God's Hand. -Kay Blake.
