Bent with our cares we plod along, Blind to the beauty, deaf fo the song. But moments there are when we pause to rest, And turn our eyes from the goal's far crest. We become aware of the way- side flowers, And sense God's hand in this world of ours. ~ We hear a refrain, see a rain- bow's end, Or we look into the heart of a friend - We feel at one with mankind. We share His griefs and glories, joy and care. The sun flecks gold through the sheltering trees, And we shoulder our burdens with twice the ease. Peace and con- tent and a world that sings. The moment -of true awareness brings. (by Helen Lowrie Mar- shall) What a thing friendship is - world without end! (Robert Browning) , after injury few short weeks away.
