DON’T PUT IT OFF TOO LATE.
There’s manj' a deed that might be done, And countless good achieved ; Tiiere’s many a tear that might he dried, And aching’ hearts relieved ; Tiiere’s'many a golden chance we lose 1 To turn the tide of; fate, f r ... ,:j Because the habit we have formed Of putting off too late. The poor are never far away, Their wants make strong appeal ; - The widows, and the orphans, too, Have wounds that we might heal ;. The sick and the afflicted onesGrow weary while they wait The coming of those tardy souls Who put off till too late. , We promise oft to make amends, To lend a helping hand To otners weaker than ourselves, Whose needs we understand ; And yet, though conscience does its part, We still proerkstinate From day to day, and lose our chance By putting off too late. -
