Poems (Carter)/Life is not commonplace
LIFE IS NOT COMMONPLACE.
Life is not commonplace,For every dayWe read new lineamentsIn that dear Face.
Life is not commonplace,For every dayWe learn new lessonsOf His boundless grace.
Life is not commonplace,For every dayHe gives us work for Him,Each in our space.
Life is not commonplace,For every dayHis perfect will for usWe hourly trace.
Life is not commonplace,For every dayWe gain some vict'ryFor the God of Grace.
Quogue, July, 1914.
