ASK FOR TODAY

EDMUND K. GOLDSBOROUGH, JR

Ask for today: tomorrow ne'er will come.
The love which kept you through the passing hour,
Has gently guarded every 'wakening flower,
In wisdom it will lead the pilgrim home;
Ask for today.

Ask for today; and Love will do the rest.
Perennial flowers are blossoming by the road,
And angels hover near to lift our load;
Only obey God's beautiful behest,
Ask for today.
