Explore "SEE?" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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!'
For this is the way, and the only way- / At least so it seems to me. / _It is up to you_, _to be_, _and do_, / _What you look for in others_. _See_?
