JKem oriam MR. HERMAN L. RATCLIFFE THE GATE AT THE END OF THINGS Some people say the world’s all a stage Where each plays a part in life; While others proclaim that life is quite real, Its joys, its battles, its strife. Some say it’s a joke, we should laugh it along, Should smile at the knocks and stings; Whatever is true just take this from me, There’s a gate at the. end of things. Don’t try to kid yourself with the thought, You can do as you please all the while; Don’t think you can kick the poor fellow who’s down, While you climb to the top of the pile. Don’t go back on your pal, just because he won’t know, Oh, in his eyes you may be a king; Some day he will see you just as you are, At the gate at the end of things. Don’t think you can fool all the folks all the while, You may do it sometimes, that is true; They will find you out in the end every time, The only one you fool is you. If you see a man down, why, give him a hand, And find how much pleasure it brings, To know you are ready to meet all mankind, At the gate at the end of things. Live like a man, it don’t cost any more, To act on the square and be right. It’s reward enough to know you’re a man, To hear people say, “He’s right.” You can look everyone straight in the eye, And your voice has sincerity’s ring; Then you’re ready to go and pass through with the bunch, At the gate at the end of things. — Unknown
