There are countless persons

ship torn to bits by high sea.
and men Of lesser faith perish

fragments of the ship and ar
rived safely on land. Too many

there are others who dare TO
make good in life on broken
things. relnber my maternal
grandfather who was an ex-
slave speaking of the hard
times he faced after freedom,
but he left the state Of Georgia
and went to Arkansas, bought a
farm, paid Tor II, reared a Tam
lily and educated them on broken
pieces. And there were many 9th
ers like him who did not have
the opportunities that are ours
today, they made it with the
broken things Of life. We too,
must learn to sail life's sea on
fragments of the ship. AS a
child in third grade this poem
served To. inspire me:
If you strike thorn or rose
Keep on going:

Keep on going.
What's the use to sit and

line
Bait your hook, Keep on
