| To Take one step at a Time "How can I go on?" I cried, When I saw the hill to climb. "Dear child", the master said, "Take one step at a time." As I placed my hands in his And went along the way, The road became much smoother, As we travelled day by day. So friend, if you come to a hill, Take the hand of the Master Sublime, And do as he suggested-- "Take one step at a time." --Marion Thatcher  To go through the day with a song in your heart Doing your duty and playing your part. Looking for lame dogs to help over stiles, Meeting your troubles with courage and smiles; To eat and enjoy, and thank God for each meal; To try to distinguish the false from the real; The harness th hours, so that none is ill-spent, Whether you are, to be glad and content; To keep a wise check on the unruly tongue, Ready to learn from the old and the young. So with the darkness, to lie down and rest In the sweet knowledge that you have done your best. |
