THE THING THAT COUNTS
It isn’t the work we intend to do, Nor the work we’ve just begun; That puts us up at the ladder’s top, It’s the work we’ve really done. Success is built on the things we do, Defeat of the things we shirk; And theman who counts when the day is thru, Is the man who completes his work. Good intentions will bring no joy, It’s easy to wish and plan; But that is like to the play of a boy, To do is the'test of the man.
