Poems (Coolidge)/Just Where I am
JUST WHERE I AM
Just where I am! Perchance my lot 'Mid brie, and thorns is cast; No beat of drum to battle calls, Each day in quiet passed.
Just where I am is ruled by thee; The duty of each hour Marked out for me, must not dismay, I conquer by thy power.
Just where I am, amidst a round Of little, common things, I pray that, in thy strength, I may Yet soar on angel wings.
Just where I am, by doing well, A battlefield may be, And daily steps a ladder prove, Which leads to victory.
