"Such as I have"

PEGGY YOUNG CLARK

Am I standing watch
At the temple gate,
Where the hurrying crowds pass by?
When the lame man there
Seeks familiar alms,
Do I answer his unvoiced cry?

With uplifted thought,
At the hour of prayer,
Am I climbing the temple road?
Do I come prepared
With cherished proof
That will lighten some brother's load?

May I be so sure
Of the priceless Truth,
Ever present to hear each call,
That the lame will walk,
And my joy shall be
Giving "such as I have" to all.
