Thoughts.

A thought within a busy brain
Once grew, and grew space.
Until it could not more remain
In such narrow space.
So, springing from the loosened tongue
1t winged its airy fight
In loving, helpful words that sung
And made sad heart light.
Another little thought, as sweet,
By silence was held fast
Till the great reaper stayed his feet
And set it free at last.
1t found its life in flowers rare
And tears and tender speech,
But they that Deaths pale colors wear
No loving words can reach.
All, little thoughts, fly forth today,
A flock Of white-winged birds.
Go, full of love, to cheer the way
AS kindly, precious words.
Rest not, inactive, useless, vain,
Till Death your torches light;
But shine right now, thru sun and rain,
And make each dark place bright.
