missing"
BY LAWRENCE EyART.

We never miss the spring OF youth
Until we're bent and worn,
We never miss the things we lose
Until the grim cold morn,
When we awake, as from a dream
And see the past laid bare
When the book Of life is opened wide
And the story written there.
what might have been"-and what
is
The bridges we have crossed.
Instead Of going straight ahead,
And winning what we've lost.
We never miss the gentle hand
And the mothers sainted smile,
Until she's gone to better things
And left us for while.
'Tis then we need her presence most
Her words OF love and cheer
To make us strong, when we are weak
And need her close and near.
NE never miss the things we love,
Until to us they're lost:
We never reckon what we do,
Until we count the cost
we never Judge until TOO late,
Yourselves as we should do.
VIE follow just our selfish bent
And suffer for. Il too.
WE never miss the silver spoon
Until lis turned 10 lead,
we never miss the goodly things,
Until were poorly fed
Wei never miss the shining sun,
Uhill we feel the rain.
And then we long for golden days,
That ne'er will come again.
We hever miss a chance I think
olsatlsfy desire
'Tis only when the logs are burned
We miss the warmth Of fire.
We never miss the kindness
Thai others TO US give.
We strive 10 set all we can,
In the time we have 90 live
We never miss whate'er we gain
Until we're meath the sod;
But we'll never miss our turn-to stand
In the presence Of our God.
Then what we've missed-or what we've
gained.
His records them will show,
Perhaps up there with Him well
gain
What we have missed below.
