Home Stretch

Why does a fireman not wear red suspenders?
The answer seems quite clear.
He’s had some help in setting out,
His clothes and other gear!

Those galluses have stretched the point,
And good will has been squandered.
The Chief will not believe somehow,
That they have up and wandered!

Let’s get the pups back in their pen,
And do it on the double.
The Chief left me in charge of them,
I think I’ve spotted trouble!

A Golden Day
 
  The subtle beauty of this day
Hangs o'er me like a fairy spell,
And care and grief have flown away,
And every breeze sings, "all is well."
I ask, "Holds earth or sin, or woe?"
My heart replies, "I do not know."

Nay! all we know, or feel, my heart,
Today is joy undimmed, complete;
In tears or pain we have no part;
The act of breathing is so sweet,
We care no higher joy to name.
What reck we now of wealth or fame?

The past--what matters it to me?
The pain it gave has passed away.
The future--that I cannot see!
I care for nothing save today--
This is a respite from all care,
And trouble flies--I know not where.

Go on, oh noisy, restless life!
Pass by, oh, feet that seek for heights!
I have no part in aught of strife;
I do not want your vain delights.
The day wraps round me like a spell
And every breeze sings, "All is well."
