For This One Day

By Edna S. Valentine

For this one day — Grant us sight to see the road, To plainly tread our winding way; Grant us strength to bear the load, For this one day.
For this one day — Guide our feet the road along, Let not our weary footsteps stray; Give us to lift a stave of song, For this one day.
For this one day — Let us not see the mud beneath, But know the gold above the gray And smell “the wind upon the heath,” For this one day.
For this one day — When bowed at eve for benison, Grant that upon the uphill way Our passing smile has gladdened one, On this one day.
— Edna S. Valentine.
