Joy THE PHILOSOPHER ~Sara Teasdale~ I saw him sitting in his door, Trembling as old men do; His house was old; his barn was old, And yet his eyes seemed new. His eyes had seen three times my years And kept a twinkle still, Though they had looked at birth and death And three graves on a hill. "I will sit down with you," I said, "And you will make me wise; Tell me how you have kept the joy Still burning in your eyes." Then like an old-time orator Impressively he rose; "I make the most of all that comes, The least of all that goes." The jingling rhythm of his words Echoes as old songs do, Yet this had kept his eyes alight Till he was ninety-two. Make the most of all that comes, the least of all that goes... Don't hold tight to your material possessions; embrace your loved ones instead, because joy is not found in what you possess, but in the heart-connections that bind us together. Just think, if you had all the wealth the world contains for your very own, but were alone, would you be happy?  Blessings, Merry Only the soul that knows the mighty grief can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy. ~Edwin Markham~ |

That's a good peom and thought scheme ! Fortunately, when we think we're alone...we're never alone ! The Old Hymn..... ---------------------- NEVER ALONE Ludie D. Pickett (1867-1953) Words: Ludie D. Pickett, 1897. Music: Arranged by Fred Jackey (MIDI, score). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve seen the lightning flashing, I’ve heard the thunder roll. I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, which almost conquered my soul. I’ve heard the voice of my Savior, bidding me still to fight on. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone! Refrain No, never alone, no never alone, He promised never to leave me, He’ll claim me for His own; No, never alone, no never alone. He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. The world’s fierce winds are blowing, temptation sharp and keen. I have a peace in knowing my Savior stands between– He stands to shield me from danger when my friends are all gone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone! Refrain When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care, My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear; Though all around me is darkness, earthly joys all flown; My Savior whispers His promise, never to leave me alone! Refrain He died on Calvary’s mountain, for me they piercèd His side. For me He opened that fountain, the crimson, cleansing tide. For me He waiteth in glory, seated upon His throne. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone! ....thanks !
