CHOOSE The hand of fafe has drawn aside The curfain of fomorrow. If shows fo us fhe pafhs so wide Of laughfer, love, and sorrow. The sfraighf and narrow pafh, ahead if lies Wifh shining glories from fhe loffy skies Reflecfed from our God above. This is fhe pafh for all desires Of divine, comforfing words of love. There fo fhe leff a sfeep, sfeep frail O'erhung wifh dreary clouds. Those who fread fhis pafh will fail To find fheir alms among fhe shrouds Of gloom and blackesf nighf. There fo fhe righf are shorf, shorf miles For fhose who sacrifice fheir lives, Abdicafing for fhe ones fo come From fhe high and mighfy Kingdom Of our God on high. Yef of fhese fhree we all may choose, Whefher we wish fo win or lose The laurels of good, or bonds of hafe: The realms below, fhe golden gafe: The pafhs so sfraighf, The pafhs so sfeep: The pafhs of deafh-efernal sleep. We can live, laugh, and love Wifh glories from our God above lf fhe firsf pafh we choose fo follow. So, make your choice for once and all, Disperse from all fhe sfrife and sorrow And fake your sfand for fomorrow. Georgeffa Mann.
