Poem

Our Brother

CONSTANCE DAVIS GUNDELFINGER

As we take our daily steps through sunlit pathsOr shadowed ways, intent upon our goal, perchanceUnheeding, thinking only of the tasksWhich seem to crowd upon our days,And planning, weighing all the thingsWhich still somehow must needs be done,Oh, may we learn to pause and liftOur thought above all selfish care,Lest in our haste we might pass byOur brother, standing there!
