DAD Is GROWING OLD, JOHN.
by J. q. A. WOOD

BY q. A. woop.
Az. Dad ~ growing old, John,
His ey es are sc ting d DIM, lad
And years have on hrs shoufuefS idI"
A heavy weight for him
But YOU and are young and hale,
And each a sta "a. va IT, man. isna .T.h,
And easy Is we can.
He used to take the brunt, John,
At cradle and the plow,
And earned our Porridge BY the sweat
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whate'er his toll might be,
Nor wanted Ger welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
But when our boy strength came, John,
And sturdy grew each limb:
He brought US to the yellow held,
To share the toll with him;
But he went foremost in the swath.
Tossing aside the grain
Just like the plow that heaves the soil.
Or ship that shears the main.
Now we must lead the van. John.
Thro' weather foul and fair.
And let the old man read and doZe,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind IL, John, you know,
Those brave old tales of British times,
Of Grand-dad and the War.
heard you speak of Nam. John:
It's gospel what you say.
That caring for the like of US
Has turned her head 30 grey;
Yet John, do remember wei
When neig hbors called her vain.
And when her hair WAS long and like
cleaning sneaf Of gram!
Her lips were cherry red, John,
Her cheek was round and far,
And like a ripened peach II swelled
Against her way halr:
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From of the summer tree,
Ard all day busy at the wheel
She sang 10 you and me.
She had a buxom arm John,
That welded well the rod
Whene'er with wlliul step our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But TO the heaven of her eye
We never looked in vain,
And evermOre our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John,
And we are what we are,
And little heed we, day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
All, when beneath her faith full breast
The tides no longer stir,
lis then, John, that we most shall feel
We had no friend like her.
Sure, there can be no harm. John,
Thus speaking softly DER
The blessed names of those, ere long,
shall welcome us no more.
Nay hide II not-for why shouldst thou
An honest tear dlsown.
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Remembering 1t has flown.
For Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes are getting dim,
And Nam IS treadlng softly down
The dim descent with him;
But you and are young and hale,
And each q stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as We can.
