“My Best”
There is an urge within my breast,
To give the Lord my very best,
In thought, in action, word and deed,
This has become my whole life’s creed.
I want to fit into His plan
Be of help to my fellow-man.
Plan the things that I should do
Before my work on earth is through.
It may be out in

A poem by Ruth Walsh pierces my heart.
I was naked, and you questioned my lack
Of modesty in my appearance.
I was imprisoned, and you debated
The legal aspects of interference.
I was penniless, and you discussed
Tax-deductable donations from your wealth.
I was sick, and you thanked the Lord,
For

The clouds are dark and still,
The stony path is hard to tread,
Each step brings some fresh ill.
I thought the way would brighter grow,
And that the sun with warmth would glow,
And joyous songs from free hearts flow.
Is this the
