Classic Poem

Is life less worth the living
Now you have found the way
Of laughing and forgiving
And living out the day?

Suppose Night come the faster
And lamps grow sudden dim;
Love, and face disaster
With laughter, God, and Him.

Matthew, Mark, and Peter,
Lazarus and John,
Knew a thing completer
Than we have looked upon.

Yet, we could mold and fashion,
Could we love as they,
And sense God's perfect passion
With fire inform our clay.

Knock and ye shall enter,
Seek and ye shall find;
Let Earth forsake her center,
But my sure words shall bind.
