A poem I read lately I thought worth sharing…

<strong />

Life 

All in the dark we grope along 

And if we go amiss 

We learn at least which path is wrong, 

And there is gain in this. 

We do not always win the race 

By only running right, 

We have to tread the mountain’s base 

Before we reach its height. 

But he who loves himself the last 

And knows the use of pain, 

Though strewn with errors all his past, 

He surely shall attain. 

Some souls there are that needs must taste 

Of wrong, ere choosing right; 

We should not call those years a waste 

Which led us to the light. 

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
