<h2><SPAN name="poem23"></SPAN>NOW</h2>
<p class="poetry">I leave with God to-morrow’s where and
how,<br/>
And do concern myself but with the Now,<br/>
That little word, though half the future’s length,<br/>
Well used, holds twice its meaning and its strength.</p>
<p class="poetry">Like one blindfolded groping out his way,<br/>
I will not try to touch beyond to-day.<br/>
Since all the future is concealed from sight<br/>
I need but strive to make the next step right.</p>
<p class="poetry">That done, the next, and so on, till I find<br/>
Perchance some day I am no longer blind,<br/>
And looking up, behold a radiant Friend<br/>
Who says, “Rest, now, for you have reached the
end.”</p>
