WHICH ARE YOU
I watched them tearing a build
down. A gang of men in a busy town;
With a ho - heave - ho and
lusty yell
Thev swuna a beam, and a
sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman
these men skilled.
"Are
And the men you'd hire if you
had to build?
He gave a laugh and said
"NO indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day
or two
What builders have taken a
year to do!"
And I thought of myself as I
went my way.
Which of these roles have I
tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with
care,
Measuring life by the rule and
square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a
well-made plan.
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker who walks
the town,
Content with the labor of tear
ing down!
