For My Teresa Life's clock The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just where the hands will stop At late or early hour. To lose one's wealth, is sad indeed; To lose one's health, is more; To lose one's soul is such a loss As no man can restore. The present is only our own, Live, love, toil with a will Place no faith in ''tomorrow'' For the clock may then be still.
