AT THE TOP
By Edgar" A. Guest
Whenever you see someone up at
the top,
Don't imagine he got there by luck,
For back of his glory lies many a
Ktory
Of battle and struggle and pluck.
He may seem to be taking things
easy today
And dodging the trials which irk,
But the years of his past,
From the first to the last,
Were a constant succession of work.
Whenever you see someone crown-
ed by success,
Don't fancy he won it by chance,
Tho he's walking today in an easier
way,
And you cannot behold with a
glance. *
The scars of his battle, just keep
this in mind—
Life's laurels don't go to the shirk,
And if you but know
His life history thru
You'd know that he once had to
work.
Success doesn't come to the indolent
hand;
iWith busy men life is concerned.
Be the man who he may, he will
find on the way
That his prizes all have to be won.
So whenever you gaze on a leader
of men,
Up on top where the glory is fair,
You may know with his luck
There were courage and pluck
You can bet that he worked to get
there.
