Most like unto a calendar is life:
Sunshine today, tomorrow cloud and
rain.
Then Hope comes forth to bless, then
cometh strife.
And then come days that only know Of
pain.
Then there are days of heat. and days
of cold.
And days when JOY doth fill the meas
ure round
OF what is purest of the heart OF gold,
The treasure. love. the best that e'er
was found,
But pain will pass. as do the cloud and
And days of strife shall be for man no
more.
And love may claim the measure of it's
gain,
And joy embrace the fulness of it's
store.
'Tis by the calendar OF all mans days
He fitted is to walk Gods endless ways.
