A Poem

This is a poem that I came across many years ago, and it's always been a favorite of mine.  It's just one verse from the poem, and it's written by William A. Baxter.
   

Life's Values

 

When we look at the mountains or look at the sod,

Oh, how can we help but give credit to God?

The tints of the rainbow, the light on the cloud,

Oh, how can the spirit of mortal be proud?

The song of the bird is as God's voice telling me

To be kind to all men and to deal honestly,

And walk with the traveler on life's rugged road

To cheer him, and help him in lightening his load.

It may be this journey will be his last mile;

Oh, these are the values we'll prize afterwhile.
