TOO BUSY.

By Minnie Embree

MINNIE EMBREE.
Too busy to be civil, Too busy to be kind, Too busy with my daily work, To well improve my mind.
Too busy with my sewing To speak a word or two, Thinking not of another's need, But of what I have to do.
Too busy to read my Bible, Too busy to say my prayers, O'erwhelmed with the work of every day, Forgetting there is One who cares.
Too busy to learn of Jesus, And walk in the way He trod; In the work and worry of daily life Too busy to think of God.
When at last I stand at the pearly gate Of the city all free from sin, Can it be that the angel there will be Too busy to let me in?
