Show The Rambling Rhymster By LES PLETTNER I OBSTACLES It is said, "He who watches the heavens, To see if a cloud be there, Will never progress with the harvest, har-vest, And gather the kernels fair." Through life does this truth hold surely, That he who looks always for The obstacles that may impede im-pede him. Will not win the early war. And he who will dwell on the reason Just why the thing cannot be done Will never start out on the highway, Which ends where the fight is won. For all the great names that emblazon em-blazon The pages of mankind's tale; Have climbed to the heights o'er the boulders. Through the wind and the storm and hail. They have climbed though the task seemed hopeless. And all said they could not reach The goal at the end of the pathway. The shore with the shining beach. They found that the fairest valleys, Where the sun shines throughout the day; Are reached through the storm and the thunder, Which harass along the way. |
