Destiny
Oh, cherished youth where time stood still
I cannot let thee end,
And I must live each day as if
I shall not live again.
So yesterday I was a youth;
Today I am a man,
And I must give unto this earth
The best life that I can.
Unto man each life shall pass
So in God we trust,
And leave with those who follow
A pathway in the dust.
Richard Netherland Cook
