When You Know A Fellow When you get to know a fellow, know his joys and know his cares, When you've come to understand him and the burdens that he bears, When you've learned the fight he's making and the troubles in his way, Then you find that he is different than you thought him yesterday. You find his faults are trivial and there's not so much to blame In the brother that you jeered at when you only knew his name. You are quick to see the blemish in the distant neighbor's style

August 20 ~  Goal That's Afar Collected Verse of Edgar A. Guest Y o u are the person who has to decide . Whether you'll do it or t o s s it aside; You are the p e r s o n who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will l i n g e r behind. W h e t h er you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be c o nt e n te d to stay where you are. " ~ Edgar A.

Eddie Guest was born in Birmingham, England in 1881, moving to Michigan USA as a young child, it was here he was educated. In 1895, the year before Henry Ford took his first ride in a motor carriage, Eddie Guest signed on with the Free Press as a 13-year-old office boy. He stayed for 60 years. In those six decades, Detroit underwent half a dozen identity changes, but Eddie Guest became a steadfast character on the changing scene. Three years after he joined the Free Press, Guest became a cub reporter. He quickly worked his way through the labor beat a much less consequential beat than it is today the waterfront beat and the police beat, where he worked "the dog watch" 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959) ON GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS He little knew the sorrow that was in his vacant chair; He never guessed they'd miss him, or he'd surely have been there; He couldn't see his mother or the lump that filled her throat, Or the tears that started falling as she read his hasty note; And he couldn't see his father, sitting sor- rowful and dumb, Or he never would have written that he thought he couldn't come. He little knew the gladness that his presence would have made, And the joy it would have given, or he never would have stayed. He didn't know how hungry had the little mother grown Once again to see her baby and to claim him for her own. He didn't guess the meaning of his visit Christmas Day Or he never would have written that he couldn't get away. He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks that once were pink, And the silver in the tresses; and he didn't stop to think How the years are passing swiftly, and next Christmas it might be There would be no home to visit and no mother dear to see.
