TDP: Ponderable and poem for Tuesday, May 18, 2010

[ma...@alharris.com]

Never let a confident person fold your parachute.



What Lies Ahead*

What lies ahead no human mind can know--
Tomorrow may bring happiness or woe.
We cannot carry charts
Save the Faith that's in our hearts
As down the Unknown Way we blindly go.

*Note: The above poem was not written by me, nor have I been able to
discover the name of its author. I found it handwritten on the opening
page of a 1941 wartime scrapbook kept by my grandmother, Theda M.
Harris. I was strangely moved by this poem and felt it to be worth
preserving and sharing. I'd be grateful to anyone who can e-mail me
the name of its author.
