OPPORTUNITY.
There's a time in the life of all men, so it's said.
When Dame Fortune knocks once at their door.
But she's fickle, I hear, not easily led.
Her fortunes to hand out galore.
But if I thought the old damsel would knock at my shack, And leave me a part of her load.
There's one thing dead certain, much sleep I would lack.
To await her half way on the road.
DON'T WORRY: What is the use of repining, Why carry a face always sad.
Outside the dear sun is shining.
Why cant we be happy and gl...ad ; Why hug your horrid old troubles, Thaf of itself is a sin.
For troubles are just simply bubbles, One can easily pick with a pin.
66 A VISION.
I was sitting alone in my study one night, With a booli, and a good friend, my pipe, The log, burning dimly, made a soft mellow light.
And the time for good reading seemed ripe.
Outside, the big snow flakes were falling quite fast.
The ground clad in mantle of white.
But so cold and so drear was the wintry blast.
My thoughts turned to the homeless that night; And in a vision, I saw little children half fed, I saw women in sorrow and pain, I saw men so discouraged, they wished they were dead, These things in my vision were plain.
