SELE HELP

Methinks God must be oft dismayed
Hearing how much our lips have prayed,
Seeing the little that we do
To make the prayers we pray come true
And so have resolved no more
To ask for blessing from His store
Until my energetic self
Has searched life's every nook and shelf
And after have done my best
And made an unremitting quest,
And hunted high and hunted low
Then unto God my prayers shall go.
I would not for one moment ask
A mortal friend to do my task,
Then why on my Creator shirk
My rightful portion of the work?
An idle mendicant-no more,
Is he who begs at heavens door,
Until with body, soul and mind
He seeks. himself, life's gifts to find.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

HER MOODS

HER MOODS
A woman is compound. they say,
OF moods. To be eXplicative-
She points out to a man the way
To go-and that's INDICATIVE.
At first she does It gently, Just
To save scene compunctive-
Says that he may" not that he must"
And that's her mood SUBJUNCTIVE.
II he demurs, does she give way?
Nay. never for a minute! I've
Known her to work for many aday
To win And that's INVENTIVE.
But If suggestions, patience, tact,
Fail she becomes declarative.
She orders-and you'd better act
Good, when her moods IMPERATIVE.

SANDS OF TIME
Times minutes. whilst they're told
Do make us old:
And every sand of this fleet glass,
Increasing age as it doth pass
Insensibly sows wrinkles there,
Where flowers and roses do appear.
