THIS is TO WIN.

Who swings with every wind that blows
Or changes with each changing tide,
Into the harbor of success
His craft will never guide.
Through storm or shine, 'gainst wind and
wave,
With ncver-lagging courage he
Must steer his vessel ever on,
Straight over life's rough sea.
TO breast the storm, the winds defeat,
The waves o'ercome-this is to win.
Who labors thus will hear at last
The summons: Enter in"
