Before It Is Too Late

If you have a tender message,

Or a loving word to say,

Do not wait till you forget it,

But whisper it today;

The tender word unspoken,

The letter never sent,

The long forgotten messages,

The wealth of love unspent -

For these some hearts are breaking,

For these some loved ones wait;

So show them that you care for them

Before it is too late.

God Bless You

I seek in prayerful words, dear friend,

My heart's true wish to send you,

That you may know that, far or near,

My loving thoughts attend you.

I cannot find a truer word,

Nor better to address you;

Nor song, nor poem have I heard

Is sweeter than God Bless you!

God Bless you! So I've wished you all

Of brightness life possesses;

For can there any joy at all

Be yours unless God blesses?

Ans so, "through all thy days

May shadows touch thee never-"

But this alone - God bless thee-

Then art thou safe forever.
