They Wait for Us

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
They wait for us, with eyes bedimmed with tears, With anxious brow full-furrowed by the years; The zealous youth who yearn to do and dare; And children sighing for true parent care.
They wait for us, unconscious of their need, Not knowing of the Balm for hearts that bleed; Unmindful ’tis the soul’s great cry for God, While blindly searching for the path he trod.
They wait for us, nor shall they wait in vain, The reapers hasten ’mongst the ripened grain; ’Tis late,—the day its course has nearly run,— But we will garner ere the set of sun.
