The Beginning Not The End


{ This piece was written just before I got out of High School, and also before I was accepted in the Marines.}

Where endings begin in life's time
our destinies lie at divided paths,
Fear becomes courage
and pain turns to strength;

Worth within life's pain
is the attempt of the impossible,
Within the trying is the success
and importance is within the effort;

Effort is the sign of success
thus insuring we have won,
For in trying we  learn
the goals are the promises to be;

The reward is expansion of worth
from new vistas  we can see,
Potential is what you will try
and not what you complete;
For trying is the victory
and the adventure to which we seek.

W/By Guy Dan Schuyler
Cr.  19 March 1968
