A FRESH BEGINNING

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and sin
ming,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and a hope for you:
All past things are past and over;
The tasks are done and the tears are
shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover,
Yesterdays wounds which smarted
and bled
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up on shelf which God holds
tight,
With glad days and sad days and bad
days which ever
Shall visit us with their bloom and
their blight.
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrow
full plight,
Let them go since we cannot revive
| Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive and forgive
them;
Only the new days are our own,
Today is ours and today alone.
Here are the stars all FURNISHED
brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tired limbs springing
lightly,
To face the sun and to share the
morn,
In the prism of dew and the cool OF
| dawn.
| Every day is fresh beginning,
! Listen, my SOUL to the glad refrain,
And, in spite of old sorrow and older
/ SHINING,
| And puzzles forecasted and possible
1 pain,
/ Take heart with the day and begin
| again.

THAT OLD MISSOURI COB

1t sure gets at times some lonesome
In this shack way out on the range,
And sometimes one gets awfully dumpy,
And new faces are welcome, though
strange.
And l sit and brood after chuck time
Til feel for murder bout ripe;
But l soon get again in good humor,
Asmoking that old cob pipe!
A stranger comes along about meal time
But on the range we are mostly alone;
And distant from home and all home
ties
Ones heart soon hardens to stone.
Suspicious we have bout the stranger,
For. mebby he ain t the right stripe;
But there 8 never a doubt Of that old
trusted friend,
That rusty, discolored old pipe!
They can brag bout their new fancy
meerschaums,
That cost mebby hundred or so;
And all sorts Of these fancy contrap-
tiOns
That with smokers seem now all the
go;
But for me, when l m heartsick and
lonely,
As l say for murder bout ripe,
There's only one thing that will sure
comfort bring,
And that is my trusted cob pipe!
