OUR CHANGEFUL DAY

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

It was a day that symbolized our life,— That changeful day in March,— For ’neath the blue-domed arch Across the smiling sun a cloudlet strayed, And flakes of snow their playful frolic made In air; and then a shower of rain-drops came, Close followed by a rainbow to proclaim God’s promise; and the while, through all the strife, Near the horizon was a field of blue That kept unsullied all the March day through.

So faith assures a constant sky serene O’er all our varied life, With much vexation rife, And through the wintry snow or summer rain Its undisturbed repose will e’er retain: And for each trial some precious promise given Will span the cloud and bid us look to heaven, Where still a patch revealing blue is seen; So thoughtful is our Father’s care to smile His love through mists that cloud earth’s “little while.”
