OPPORTUNITY.

By Clement L. Pollock

Look for the light! No day nor deed there is so dark That does not somewhere hold the spark That may be coaxed with loving breath To glow where fell the shade of death, A flame of light.

Race for the right! The epitaphs of endless years, Gloomed with sorrows, glint with tears, Proclaim that every end on earth Attained by man of any worth, Was reached through right.

Head for the height! Esteem the bauble far from loss That in life's crucible proves dross; Nor falter in the sharp, short strife, Until you've gained the goal of life— Home on the height. —Clement L. Pollock.
