A brief sojourn In a busy universe ; Where oft we ’re made to weep and mourn, Yet sometimes to rejoice. Sometimes—ah, ofttimes! When we ’re of our dearest friends bereft, It seems that life is nothing But a vale of tears in which we ’re left. But God knows best, I'm sure He does, For He has proven it out, Although he sends us grief and pain, His love lor us we should not doubt. “Life,” say some, “is what we make it." This is true enough, indeed. But if we, alone, are left to make it, I am sure some help we’ll need. So, when we ’re near the close of life, Nearing our eternal home.
