There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, depart,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and age better,
Under mandhood's stern reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, wiht flying feet;
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
and we seek for it in vain;
We behold it every where,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again.
A Fellow I once knew said why worry about the futher (? not future), every one gets along some have (?) (or every one else unreadable in you
When we are young, we have the energy & courage to sung (?) forward, striving to reach our goal in the world. Now is the time to build a strong foundation for your hope & your dreams. Then as you grow your life can be filled with the joys of living rather becoming one continual struggle to put bread in your mouth and clothes on your back.
How many people today are standing still victims of circumstance.
Napolion Hill, in his book think and grow rich gives to (sic) main reasons for failing. Indecision and procrastination. He goes on to say that if you set out for a goal & are willing to sacrifice to attain that goal, you can accomplish anything for life is just what you (unreadable) make it.

Untitled, handwritten, not dated
This page seems to have been torn from a notebook and possibly fits into a journal. It is unfinished as I have it.
Perhaps I should start out with about the time my brother Harry passed away. We worked together & were very close.
Our business was pretty slow & Harry went to help Art (another brother) for a couple weeks. The scaffold gave way on day when he was working on the house & he broke his ankle. His ankle swelled so bad they couldn’t set it right away. He was laid up for about six months & I’m sure the loss of income was rough on him & also his family. Finally they took the cast off, but the pain was still there. He started back to work for me, but you could tell the pain was almost more than he could bear (sic). About a couple of weeks after he started to work, he had a stroke while waiting in like at a wedding reception. He continued to have additional strokes & the 2nd nite(sic) he passed away.
It has been a long time since my Dad passed away & Harry passing really hit me hard. At this same time I had been holding open house on a new home across from the one I finished to move into for a year & one half without any results & I felt things couldn’t get much worse. With the persuading of some of the members in our ward & I think. . .
