July 16: Day by Day with Father Bill

THURSDAY OF THE FIFTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

On this Thursday morning, here is a bit of poetry to nourish your soul:

Go Give the World by Otto Leland Bohanan

I do not crave to have thee mine alone, dear
Keeping thy charms within my jealous sight;
Go, give the world the blessing of the beauty,
That other hearts may share of my delight!

I do not ask, thy love should be mine only
While others falter thought the dreary night;
Go, kiss the tears from some wayfarer’s vision,
That other eyes may know the joy of light!

Where days are sad and skies are hung with darkness,
Go, send a smile that sunshine may be rife;
Go, give a song, a word of kindly greeting,
To ease the sorrow of some lonely life!
