Show THE ONE ROAD By DOUGLAS MALLOCH ONLY one road, after all, In a world of thoroughfares, Highways wide or pathways small, Only one for which one cares: Ev'ry road, however far, Joins another road more near, Joining other roads there are Leading home to someone dear. Only one road, though it start Half around the world away, Only one road leads the heart, Calls the spirit day by day, It may pass some lone abode, Rise among the streets of Rome, Yet It joins some other road Leading to the road to home. j Only one road on the earth Crosses land and crosses sea, Only one road that Is worth All we are or aim to be. Where it start I know not of, But one way it always wends: To the heart of one we love And the fellowship of friends. . 1932. Douglas Malloch. "WNU Service. |
