A Brave Example

From The Birmingham Age Herald, October 11, 1913.

“We’ll worry along, somehow,”
    He said when misfortunes came,
And the courage that welled from his dauntless heart
    Fed hope’s undying flame.

“We’ll worry along, somehow,”
    His face still wore a smile,
Though the road that he traveled was strewn with thorns
    For many a weary mile.
