A Poem
From Mrs. Eby ...
An Old Quaker Saying
It isn't the things you do, dear,
it’s the things you leave un
done, which gives you the bit
ter heartache, the letter you
did not write, the flower you
might have sent, dear , are
your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
out of tout brother's way, the
bit of heartsome counsel you
were hurried too much to say,
the loving touch of the hand,
dear, the gentle and winsome
tone that you had no time or
thought for, with troubles
enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness, so
easily out of mind. These chan
ces to be angels which even
mortals find. They come in the
night and silence each chill re
proachful wraith when hope is
faint and a blight has dropped
on faith.
For life is all too short, dear
and sorrow is all too great tc
suffer our slow compassion thai
tarries until too late, and it’s
not the things you do, dear, its
the things you leave undone
which gives you a bitter heart
i ache at the setting of the sun
(Adelade Proctor)
