GROWING OLD

A little more tired at close Of day;
little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame:
A little more care for a brothers
name:
And so we are nearing the journeys
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
A little less care for bonds and gold:
A little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and a saner mind,
And little more love for all man
kind;
A little more careful of what we say;
And so We are faring a-down the
way.
A little more love for the friends of
youth;
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our views;
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream;
A little more real the things unseen;
A little bit nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-loved and
dead;
And so we are going where all must
go,
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, little more
tears,
And we shall have told our increas-
ing years;
The book is closed, and the prayers
are said,
And we are a part of the countless
dead.
Thrice hanDv than if sorne soul ean
say,
II live because he has passed my
way"
