Face Pictures

We write our lives upon our faces, deep, An autograph which they will always keep.
Thoughts can not come and leave behind no trace Of good or ill; they quickly find a place Where they who will may read, as in a book, The hidden meaning of our slightest look.
Reach for the things above — to those who climb Steps ne'er are wanting; ever the sublime Allures us onward, and our lives will be Just what we make them, to eternity. What they now are the face will surely show Like footprints on a field of untrod snow.
Time deepens all the lines, or dark or fair — Lines carved by grief or chiseled deep by care. Thoughts into actions very quickly grow; Actions are seeds which every one must sow. They reap the richest harvest of good deeds Who sow by loving words, most precious seeds.
