TH E SUN I) IA L There stands in my window a sundial So quiet and peaceful and true; T.e watched and admired it a good while For what it does not, and does do. It is always right to the nynute And never reports with a whine; It reveals no trouble within it And its face shows glory divine. It does not record in the darkness But waits 'til the clouds have passed by; I admire such patience and frankness Through shadows and sunshine, now why.’ Tis because I’m tempted to worry When hard pressed with trouble and care And am apt to give way in a flurry If the ways of life seem unfair. * * I know 1 should be like the sundial Unmoved by the shadows replete; Keep silent, through faith, in the cloud trial And record in sunshine life’s sweet. For the vital force put in my soul By the breath of wonderful love Is to show on life’s face as a whole God’s image and truth from above. Then seeing that I am God’s sundial Attuned to His Spirit of Light ■ I will rest in the shades of His smile And reveal in life what is right. ***** So, when the death shadows shall have jiassed And the foibles of earth are o’er I shall dwell in His presence at last Where troublesome clouds are no more. —Copyright. 1924. by Iz-onard W A. Luckey.
