Dear Patty, Buster, Judy and Families
Eventide
by Charles W.H. Bancroft
God loves the Aged.
He gives them greater visions than the young;
He puts the words of wisdom on their tongue;
And keeps His presence ever by their side,
From dawn to dusk, and on through eventide.
God helps the Aged.
Within their home His Spirit dwells;
Their mellow hearts are touched like chiming bells;
He calms their fears, then worries disappear,
Because they know His help is always near.
God keeps the Aged.
With hearts of gold, and silver tinted hair,
And earnestness, and greater faith in prayer;
He keeps them as a shepherd guards his sheep,
'Til in His fold they gently fall asleep.
I am thankful that your Mom was a part of my life.
