Take a walk with me down this path of life,
Let us hold each other's hand,
Let us climb tomorrow’s mountains, or,
Run through yesterday's sands,

Let us soar in the wind of our hopes and dreams,
And bathe in forgetting seas,
We'll sunbathe in the future's light to come,
And in cool past shadows, sleep,

Let there be no burden we take along,
As we run to the future with glee,
Just remember three words when today is gone,
Tomorrow, you, and me.

Hope you have a chance to come by today.

Good morning, Ms. Poetry and Potpourri Hostess. I don't have time to locate a poem this morning but wanted to pop in and say hello and leave some flowers for the table. I'll try to get back here later today.

Don't know if someone has already posted this poem which was mentioned during the Brit hume interview with President Bush. There is a copy of the poem in the Oval Office:

A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE

A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill:
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!

Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!

Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.

~ Words: Charles Wes­ley

The lyrics are based on Matthew Henry’s commentary on Leviticus:

We have every one of us a charge to keep, an eternal God to glorify, an immortal soul to provide for, needful duty to be done, our generation to serve; and it must be our daily care to keep this charge, for it is the charge of the Lord our Master, who will shortly call us account about it, and it is our utmost peril if we neglect it. Keep it “that ye die not”; it is death, eternal death, to betray the trust that we are charged with; by the consideration of this we must be kept in awe.
