Speech To The Young : Speech To The Progress-Toward Poem by Gwendolyn Brooks
Speech To The Young : Speech To The Progress-Toward
Say to them,
say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.
Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.
Another wonderous inspiring poem! I so Love Gwendolyn works...she was brilliant in her time and in modern times.Wish she was still around to write....10/10 =Shelley=
I an afraid to say the word, ''live'' is a verb unless it is pronounced like '' life'' in the track. is it correct to pronounce it like life in this context?

" even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night." You will be right. For that is the hard home-run. Struggles, problems leading a life through all that and great advice to all. tony
