Written in memory Of Mrs. George
E. Middlebrook.
There comes time in the lives of men,
And women too, ween,
When the sum of our strivings is reck.
oned up
And the total product seen.
When the JOY and the triumph that is
ours today,
Atones for the failures of yesterday.
When the rift in the clouds shows the
shining sun,
Which illumins the record of victories
won,
And the tears that are shed in the mid
night gloom,
Have watered the roses now in bloom,
Shall be by the great Asssyer weighed,
And the justly accounted tribute paid.
The promise fulfilled, the debt is paid,
And by this measure shall each be
weighed,
By balance which held in a mighty
hand,
The recording Angel shall understand,
And success and failure adjusted right,
By the spirit which strengthens to arm
to fight.
And my commission may come today,
Or withheld till the stone shall be roll
ed away.
