SAILOR'S MEDITATION
By Mrs L. O. Poulson
I can see you on the sea shore
Gazing out across the foam
I can fell your thoughts «wandering
To your childhood days at home.
You can see your mother standing
In the little cottage door.
And your Bud. and baby sister
Playing games there, on the floor.
You can see your dear old father
As he saunters up the road
You can see he's growing older
For now, he carries all the load.
You can hear the old cat purring
And the humming of the bees,
Hear the weeping willows whistling
As the wind blows through the lea
ves
Your heart beats all the faster
As you pray to Ood above.
That you may hasten homeward
To the dear ones that you love.
You may think these days gone for
ever
As you ponder there alone.
Thinking of the days gone by
You have heartaches of your own.
You long for a time that is coming
When you'll be happy once again.
And you'll see the smiling faces
As you saunter up the lane.
Yes. dear boy. you 11 find us waiting
In a home, where love abides.
For you we're sadly yearning.
And pray Ood to be your guide.
