The following original lines were
written for the Yoke Bearers class
banquet by Mrs. William Tobin of
South Dorset:
You ask me for poem,
A poem cannot write,
Although it gives me pleasure
To meet with you tonight.
| would like to say something,
If | only knew how to begin;
Life seems to be such battle,
A battle with original sin.
We are too weak and helpless
With all our Wanted pride,
II is only God can help us;
There is naught on earth beside.
God could as easily crush us,
AS we crush the worm meath
our feet;
But His great love has prepared us
A grand and sure retreat.
We might envy another's easier
life,
Or one that seems to us so,
But the God of nature has placed
each plant
In the soil where it best can
grow.
We may wish our tasks were
lighter,
And from our burdens we could
rest,
But it is God that gives us the les
sons;
He Knows-He knows what is
best
He knows all our weakness;
He remembereth our frame:
To save us from the evil day.
His own dear son--he came.
Let us each try and serve Him;
Let us try with all our might,
Our own dear Lord to follow,
And battle for the right.
And when our work on earth is
done.
And we this life lay down,
May we hear the voice of Jesus
say,
Gomez receive thy CROWN"
