-TAKE TIME FOR THE HOME-


Our thanks to William Makepeace Thackeray,
Whose Love for the Home led him to say,
"The Home is the Father's Kingdom, the Mother's World,
And the Child's Paradise! '' How true
ls this Christian Definition! How few
Today really take it to Heart! Many say,
"I don't have the time," and this may be true;
Therefore, Take Time! Some years ago I read
An account of a little boy who gladly said,
"Daddy let's go work on Our Hut. We've got
It started, you know." But Daddy said, "No, not
Today, Son; I've got lots to do!'' The little boy
Dropped his head, and then he said, "Well, I'll wait! ''
So Dad hurried off to chores - - routine that led
Him to make a choice, not knowing the hour was late!
Some things cannot wait! Playing alone. the little Boy
Ran out into the street to get his toy
Wagon. A motorist failed to see him in Time!
The iron bumper on a car is hard, you know!
Rushing to the Hospital, a distressed father must go
In to see through tear-filled eyes the
Faint smile on His little Boy's Face, as He
Says, "We didn't get Our Hut finished, Daddy, Did We! ''
