Someday
BY w. w. Robbins.


Some day, in green fields Elysian,
My past life comes back to me,
And the futures veil has risen,
So that all beyond see;
For Someday has no time. limit,
That is reached by days and years,
And sweet hope is ever present
For to socthe away all tears.
In this new delightful Eden
That Someday has now restored,
l would found field of labor
Where no class should be ignored,
No denomination corner
What in right belongs to all,
With no serpent in mans clothing,
There to bring about a fall.
Then when all my limitations
Were removed by gift of time,
would make my reputation
By the writing of this rhyme.
But that day that waits on others
l have never yet possessed,
And the promise for to use it
Is a weakness now confessed.
But a weakness so compelling
That we almost think it fine,
And we lose our reputation
Banking on this gift of time;
Banking on the strength of others
When we should ourselves be strong,
Pushing On the wheels of progress,
For to help the world along.
We can square that gift from others,
Who have toiled through ages past
Only by like remittance
When our usefulness is past.
But the debt we owe to nature.
To ourselves and to our God,
Claims the best there is within US,
While we toll above the sod.
But the best is so INSTRUCTED
BY the worst in life we know.
That We zig-zag on our journey,
Making forward progress slow.
And the great big things worth hav.
ing.
That we covet for our own,
With a side-step, bring disaster
To the fondest hopes we've known.
So, between opposing forces,
We must wage constant strife,
If the better impulse fails US,
There will be a wasted life.
Tame contentment Is buffer
That but Incidence doth teach;
Better far that we SHOULD hunger
For the things beyond our reach.
Better far that we should suffer
For some cause both good and great
Than to sit down idly, waiting
For the blighting hand of fate.
And ] know no better slogan
For to help US on our way,
Than to get right down and promise
To do better yet some day.
