A Poem
! From Mrs. Eby ...
i —Growing Old—
I They say that I am growing old,
I have heard them tell it times
untold in language plain and
bold, But I am not growing
old.
This frail old shell in which I
dwell is growing old; I know full
well, but I am not the shell;
what if my hair has turned
real gray? Gray hairs are hon
orable, they say
What if my eyesight is growing
dim—I can still see to follow
Him who sacrificed His life for
me upon the cross of Calvary.
Why should I care if time’s old
plough has left its furrows on
my brow? Another house not
made with hands awaits me in
the Glory Land.
What though 1 falter in my walk
What though my tongue refuse
to talk, I still can tread the
narrow way. I still can watch
and Praise and Pray.
My hearing may not be as keen
as in the past, it may have
been, still I can hear my Sav
ior say, in whispers soft. “This
is the way”.
The outward man, do what I
can to lengthen out my life’s
short span, Shall perish and
return to dust as everything in
nature must,
±ue mwara man, the Scriptures
say, is growing stronger every
day, so how can I be growing
old when safe within my Sav
ior’s fold?
Ere long my soul shall fly away
and leave this tenement of clay
—this robe of flesh I’ll drop and
rise to seize the everlasting
prize.
I'll meet you on the streets of
gold and prove that I’m not
growing old.
