All for the Best By Edgar A. Guest Things mostly happen for the best. However hard it seems to-day, When some fond plan has gone astray Or, what you’ve wished for most is lost An’ you sit countin’ up the cost With eyes half-blind by tears o’grief While doubt is chokin’ out belief, You’ll find when all is understood That what seemed bad was really good. Life can’t be counted in a day. The present rain that will not stop Next autumn means a bumper crop. We wonder why some things must be- Care’s purpose we can seldom see- An’ yet long afterwards we turn To view the past, an’ then we learn That what once filled our minds with doubt Was good for us as it worked out. I’ve never know an hour of care But that I’ve later come to see That it has brought some joy to me. Even the sorrows I have borne, Leavin’ me lonely an’ forlorn An’ hurt an’ bruised an’ sick at heart, An’ though I could not understand Why I should bow to Death’s command, That it was really better so. Things mostly happen for the best. So narrow is our vision here That we are blinded by a tear An’ stunned by every hurt an’ blow Which comes to-day to strike us low. An’ yet some day we turn an’ find That what seemed cruel once was kind. Most things, I hold, are wisely planned If we could only understand.
