Voices of Life

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
THERE are voices of sorrow and voices of pain, There are voices that laugh like the sun after rain, But the voice that we welcome and cherish as best Is the voice telling always of peace and of rest.
Rest in the conflict that causes the pain, Peace when the storm clouds are pregnant with rain; Constant in spirit no matter the weather,— Mingling of faith, love, and courage together.
Voices spring forth from the life of the heart, Telling the sources from which they depart; Cleanse well the stream by protecting the spring, Wall it by prayer from each poisonous thing.
Voices of nature speak to the soul; So will the life when God's graces control, Luring the weary to heaven and rest, Uttering things that the heart loves the best.
