If a task is once begun
Never leave it till it's done.
Be the labor great or small
Do it well or not at all.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Found this little tidbit today and thought I would share it.

This comes from the book
The Best-Loved Poems of the American People
published by Doubleday in 1936,
so, unless your name is Wes Vogler, this poem is older than you are.
Actually, this poem is probably even older than Wes, He was born in 1930, but who knows how long it took Doubleday to collect all these poems, and how long to put the book together? And how many years before that was the poem floating around?

'Author Unknown' is one of my favorite authors. This one is great. I think I'll submit one I remember from years past.
Mine, too. I have many more of his (or hers) .
