The Perfect Hour.

1 know that when the day is done There'll be at least an hour of fun, Not every moment, now. of life Is filled with sordid, selfish strife. One portion of the day remains That’s free from blemishes and stains; Whatever else may come my way I owe one hour of healthy play. When night comes on I cease to dread Grl m dangers, but I look ahead To where that pair of youngsters wait To see me coming through the gate, And there I know that we shall play At least one hour of life away. That sixty minutes I shall be From care and worry wholly free. I may not find success today And I may falter by the way; The hours may dreary be and long, And all my fondest hopes go wrong; I may be sick at heart and sore, But when I reach that little door I know one hour will be complete With merriment and laughter sweet. —Detroit Free Press.
