LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN

wish there were some wonderful
 place 4tIF~ Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our
 heartaches And all our poor selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby coat,
 at the door, E. And never put on again. I wish we could come on it all un-
 aware,
 Like the hunter who finds lost
 trail; And I wish that, the one whom our
 blindness had done The greatest injustice of all Could be at the gates, like m old
 friend that waits For the cofnrades he's gladdest to
 hail. We would find the things we intended
 to do
 But forgot and remembered-too
 late, Little praises unspoken. little promises
 broken, And all of the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected
 The day for one less fortunate. It wouldn't be possible not to be kind In the Land of Beginning Again; And the ones we misjudged and the
 ones whom we grudged. Their moments of victory here Would find in the grasp of our loving
 handclasp
 More than penitent lips could ex-
 plain. For what had been hardest we'd know had been best.
 And what had seemed loss would be
 gain; For there isn't sting that will not
 take wing When we've faced it and laughed it
 away; And I think that the laughter is most what we're after, In the Land of Beginning Again. So I wish that there was some won- derful place, Called the Land of Beginning Again Where all our mistakes and all our
 heartaches And all our poor selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat at the door, And never put on again. Louise Fletcher Tarkington.
