The Living MindFor man while here below; It shines both day and night Like the golden glow. If we would look square in our And view things as they are We could avoid many trials And console our aching hearts. We should live for today only Our yesterdays are past arid go Tomorrow is not ours In fact it may never come. There is one thing, my brother, Before we cross the ridge, We must lie down for one night Beneath the covered bridge. Then why should we crave or worry For things we have not got! Discontent is sinful And will not improve our lot. We should not yearn f or money For sometimes it's a curse Happiness excels money If in God we trust. The Plains Poems in Kansas
