WHATEVER THE STOCK EXCHANGE, by                    
First Line: Life will carry me! Astonishment!
Last Line: But I am the power that directs my course.
Subject(s): Stock Exchange


Life will carry me! Astonishment!
Like my surprise when first I learned to float
On water. I do not sink. In life my boat
Is confidence. I take each new event,
Knowing surely, each will life employ.
As surely as I live to gain ability,
With confidence and poise and gay stability,
The world is glad in my self-confident joy;
And through my endless struggle now I see,
By constant growing and heightening from soil,
If I attain to receive the royal oil
Of anointing, life will be acclaiming me.
To bear me up, will life produce the force,
But I am the power that directs my course.
