| If I were to offer a prayer today,
And I knew that the powers that be Would grant all the blessings for which I should pray Most freely unto me, I would pray that I might in true wisdom and power Increase as the days go past, And be able to do some good deed every hour That I could not have done in the last. If the fibre still holds in my life's slender cord Thru another short year, may I say I have cherished the good and all evil abhorred, When I read this a year from today. __Colfax Burgoyne Harman |
