BUILDING TODAY, by                    
First Line: I wish that as you walk along life's way
Last Line: Oh, don't forget! You are building it today.
Subject(s): Growth; Life


I wish that as you walk along life's way,
You would pluck the blossoms rich in happiness,
You can, but oh, you must begin today!
To store thought treasures rich in blessedness.

Just at the growth that each year adds its kind
To that small tree which makes a mighty thing,
So does the little thought that's kept in mind
Grow strong, thus you decide what it shall bring.

Tomorrow if you wish more loveliness
Along the path and make the future pay
In golden hours and lifelong happiness,
Oh, don't forget! you are building it today.
