Progress

Toward what far end
I move, I do not know,
And just as long as I may go
On with the trend
Of things, I do not care --

Learning all that I can grasp
At anytime and anywhere,
Doing what is to be done,
From sun to sun --

Accepting gratefully the clasp
Of any joy and if pain comes,
To try to bear it gallantly
In mind and heart;

For either happiness or sorrow
Is each a part
Of growing toward a finer tomorrow --

For growing through both good and ill
Means progress, never standing still!
