A Thanksgiving Challenge - By Patience Strong

“One Life”

 One life and one alone we have to live upon this little earth. 
One life in which to learn so much . . . to seek and find and prove our worth.
 So many dreams there are to dream . . . so many things to know and do. 
So many rosy peaks to climb . . . so many pathways to pursue.

 So waste no time on fruitless quests that get you nowhere in the end. 
The gold of Time is yours to squander or with care to use and spend.
 It’s folly to postpone good deeds.  To-morrow never comes they say. 
The future times belong to God. 

Your only chance is now . . . To-day.
