GROWING OLD.
A little more tired at close of day; A little less anxious to have our way; A little less ready to scold and blame; A little more careful for a brother’s name; Arid so we are nearing the journey’s end, Where time and eternity meet and blend. A little less care for bonds and gold ; A little more zest in the dayr of old ; A broader view and a saner mind, And a little more love for all mankind; And so we are faring a-down the way That leads to the gates of a better wav.
