Poem

Your Light So Shines

JOY BENNETT

I Wish that I could write my thought of youIn lovely music ringing pure and true;Or that my vision, faithfully expressedIn words and phrases beautifully dressed,Might paint a picture so that all could seeAnd share the lovely thoughts that come to me,Of one whose light shines out so valiantly,In spite of threatening clouds of storm and stress,That those whose way seems dark may pause and seeReflected love, that seeks to heal and bless;Of one whose open hand and heart would giveUnstintingly and eagerly their all;Receiving gratefully, striving to liveHumble, alert, obedient to God's call.

Wisdom

WILLIAM P. MC KENZIE

Just to be quiet, just to be kind,Just to be patient a little longer—To wait a bit for the children's feet,And to hold their hands till they grow stronger;Then ripe age shall have memories sweet.

KATHRINE AAGAARD
