Look not so much upon the world you leave behind, <br />Except, remember it's the steps upon which you climbed; <br />Languish not so much upon the glory that you bask in now, <br />Except, ponder enthusiastically with a purpose and a vow; <br />Look hopefully instead toward the years ahead, <br />For that which is yet to come, indeed, must be <br />added to the total sum<br /><br />Edmund D.
