Two Points of View

By Helen Knight Wyman

WHEN I am tired and weary, And nothing goes my way, I thank the Heavenly Father For two nights to every day.

But when, once more, I’m rested, And all the world looks bright, I thank him that he sends me Two days to every night!

There’s the pause before the battle, There’s the respite from the fray; And that is how I reckon Two nights to every day.

When the sunset glow has faded, In a little while ’tis light! And that is how I reckon Two days to every night.

And so ’tis due, believe me, To the way we look at things, Whether we sigh and falter, Or whether we soar on wings!

—Helen Knight Wyman, in Good Housekeeping.
