Show Worth While. I.oid. It sroms hut short, our lifetime; Just 11 breath nnd wo'ro nwny; Looking luirkwnrd down nur pathways We were boys Just yesterday. And to-morrow we'll bo old folks, And, day nflcr that, we'll pass; As the thistledown tho wind blows Or the mist upon the glass. It's worth llvln' In, this world Is, Where tho (lowers bud nnd bloom, Where tho llrellles nro dartln Drnwln' pictures nn tho gloom; Every day's worth havln' lived for, And, In love, one's hopes nnd fears, For ono little, tlcklln' minute Arc plumb worth n million years! And the hug of one weo lnby. When It's renchln' up to climb To your bosom Just to love you Worth ten million yenrs 'o" time; And Its kisses nt tho nighttime. When you'ro crooning It to Flcep, Kncli ono's worth n hntcli of ages Thut 'ml make n mighty heap. And o' nights : bnby watchln' Kor your comln' down tho street, And the yellow curls n-llyln', And tho nwkwnrd legs an' feet. And tho glad mouth held for kisses Half n-purxc nnd half n-smllo Makes llfo's woo span mighty roppy, Makes tho llvln' well worth while. J. M. Lewis, In Houston Post. |
