BIRTHDAY MOTTOES: 6 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: UPWARD, STILL UPWARD, THY PATHWAY BE
Last Line: NEARER AND NEARER THE STARS OF LIGHT.
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS;
'UPWARD, still upward,' thy pathway be,
Into the sunshine grand and free;
Leaving the mists and clouds below,
Gaining the pure and stainless snow.
Upward, still upward! Thy faithful Guide
Always close at His pilgrim's side,
Leading thee on from height to height,
Nearer and nearer the stars of light.
