A friend of mine has a poem snippet, and doesn't know who wrote it, or
how the poem ends. For his birthday, I'd like to get the information
for him. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything, so I figured
I'd try out Google Answers.

Here's the snippet.

        Well Done

A young man stands where once a small boy stood.
He stands erect, his shoulders straight,
his face set firm to meet and conquer fate.
Could he with holy vision like a prophet see
what stormy course his untried feet must run?
Could thus he stand if fully conscious he
that all his plans should subject to a higher power be?

Days come and go, and so the years roll by.
Gone is the spark, the fire to conquer all;
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.
