Helen Lowrie Marshall

I will tell you more about this fine lady in later posts. I wish I could have met her along the way instead I bargain for one of her tiny books of poems on ebay for a quarter.....A great deal

LOOK UP AND LIVE

This business of living was meant to be more
        Than plodding along each day
With head bowed down and eyes on the ground
         While time ticks the hours away.

God made this world a delightful place
          With beauty everywhere ----
The grass, the flowers, the trees, the sky,
           The tang of clean, fresh air ---

A world to be lived in, laughed in, loved,
         To be met with joy and zest,
A world with a challenge for each of us
         To give it our very best.

This business of living was never meant
        As a treadmill sort of thing;
There are rivers to cross, and mountains to climb,
        And glorious songs to sing!

Amen and love ya Pokie
