All Things Pass

ALL THINGS PASS

by HELEN STEINER RICE



LET ALL YOUR THOUGHTS BE HAPPY, DEAR,
TO CHASE AWAY ALL THOUGHTS OF FEAR.
THINK OF LOVELY THINGS YOU'VE SEEN
LIKE ROLLING SLOPES OF VELVET GREEN,
FLUFFY CLOUDS OF AZURE BLUE,
SPARKLING DROPS OF CRYSTAL DEW,
ROBIN REDBREASTS ON THE WING
TELLING US AGAIN IT'S SPRING,
GOLDEN BEDS OF DAFFODILS,
VIOLETS BLOOMING ON A HILL...
DON'T "CLOUD" YOUR MIND WITH ANXIOUS FEAR,
JUST FILL YOUR HEART WITH "SUNNY CHEER,"
AND WAITING DAYS WILL SOON BE OVER
AND YOU'LL AGAIN BE "BACK IN CLOVER"
FOR "ALL THINGS PASS"... AND THIS WILL, TOO,
AND WITH GOD'S HELP YOU'LL COME "SMILING THROUGH"





LET, I PRAY THEE, THY MERCIFUL KINDNESS
BE FOR MY COMFORT, ACCORDING TO THY
WORD UNTO THY SERVANT.
