Lord, that I am straight and strong,With wit to work and hope to keep me brave; That two-score years, unfathomed, still belongTo the allotted life thy bounty gave. I thank thee that the sight of sunlit lands And dipping hills, the breath of evening grass — That wet, dark rocks and flowers in my handsCan give me daily gladness as I pass. I thank thee that I love the things of earth —Ripe fruits and laughter lying down to sleep. The shine of lighted towns, the graver worthOf beating human hearts that laugh and weep. I thank thee that as yet I need not need not fear, the mystery of the end; But more than all, and though all these should go —Dear Lord, this on my knees! — I thank thee for my friend. ^^^ —Juliet Wilbor Tompkins.
