OUR MILESTONES
How swiftly they are passing! These years of mortal life; Each full to overflowing Of storm, of stress, of strife.
Of sorrows soothed, of duties done, Some stones may records be, Whilst others mark a road unknown, With windings none can see.
Yet this we know, and bravely tread, As God appoints each mile, That, always looking up, reveals A Father's tender smile.
