Excerpt from Poems Asleep in Church I see the congregation sitting in the hard wood pews, Some are looking happily at the full dressed choir in view, One man is soon so sleepy that his head begins to nod, And now he snores so loudly, that we know he's on the job. The preacher talks earnestly and gives out the message plain, The choir have sung the Anthem, "Giving Glory to His Name, " But this thing makes me weary as I look all faces o'er, To see one man sound sleeping, we should put him out the door. If sleeping place is needed and you need it very bad, You should have kept your pillow while that needed sleep you had This church is not giv'n over for a place to come and snore We do not advertise Hotel, and sleepers we deplore. Why Pat Shaved Outside It was on a Sunday morning, and shaving time had come, And Pat went out upon the porch, that he might have more room, The sun was shining very bright, the neighbors all were out, And Mike came gently walking by, to see what Pat's about. "Good morning, " Mike says unto Pat, "the weather sure is fine, But what makes you thus always shave, outside here by the vine?" "And faith indeed, " was Pat's reply, "I'm not fur lined you know, So when I shave, I shave outside, that's where my whiskers grow. Beauty of Faith and Hope There's beauty in the dew drop hanging from leaf and flower, Reflecting of the glory of the new born morning hour, Though great may be this glory, clear as crystals which appear, Sun shine will vanish dew drops, when the noon hour draweth near A certain hope abiding, living deep within the heart, Never fades with coming sun, but a greater faith imparts, While dews of morning vanish, with the rising of the day, Faith brings to us fulfillment, while the hours pass swift away. Give me the glow of morning, with every brightening ray, Producing added beauty, which appears with new born day, To calm my troubled spirit, giving peace to reign within, Fulfill in me the beauty, which true faith and hope will bring.
