SEE?

If one proves weak who you fancied strong,

Or false who you fancied true,

Just ease the smart of your wounded heart

By the thought that it is not you!

If many forget a promise made,

And your faith falls into the dust,

Then look meanwhile in your mirror and smile,

And say,‘ I am one to trust!’

If you search in vain for an ageing face

Unharrowed by fretful fears,

Then make right now ( and keep ) a vow

To grow in grace with the years.

If you lose your faith in the word of man

As you go from the port of youth,

Just say as you sail,‘ I will not fail

To keep to the course of truth!’
