Life I rest here atthinking I know not of what, Perhaps of the future, My is-to-be lot. The future, the misted; Our goal is unknown, Except by the High One He knows it alone. What is a human? Of matter a mass, Is gifted with life Which from ,liS must pass. Control life we cannot, Just live it alone. So with all creatures; Even with stone. Fate has its ways, Some fair, some cruel. To frown is no count, 'Tis an age old rule. Now fellow beings Question not fate: Live your life purely, For later's, too late. J. B. Brozowsky.
