To Thee - I Give

This day...I'll give thee treasures,
In hopes you'll cling to them.
And count them on life's highway,
As a rare and priceless gem.

I give to thee this day...my love,
In the tenderness of tears.
That you might handle gently,
As you walk down through the years.

Today...I press my hand in thine,
With full measure...nothing short.
And my love to you...I'm offering,
From the fulness of my heart.


E.P. 1908 - 1989
