GOOD MEN

                                          GOOD MEN

                            "Good men," wrote Christian 
                            N. Bovee, "have the fewest fears."

                            Good men have no fears of yesterday...
                            No hidden skeletons
                            No regrets over failures
                            No gloating over successes
                            Good men just press on toward the mark

                            Good men have no fears of tomorrow...
                            Good men realize that tomorrow always
                            enters our lives as the child of yesterday,
                            bringing with it twenty-four hours of
                            bounteous and new opportunities.

                            Good men have no fears of today...
                            For on this day...
                                 Lessons will be learned
                            Work will be accomplished
                            Confidence will be instilled
                            Examples will be set
                            Spirits will be uplifted
                            Prayers will be answered

                            Everyday this fearing world continues
                            to yearn for...good and faithful men.
