The Better Lot

Title:     The Better Lot
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [More Titles by Cawein]

Her life was bound to crutches: pale and bent,
But smiling ever, she would go and come:
For of her soul GOD made an instrument
Of strength and comfort to an humble home.

Better a life of toil and slow disease
That LOVE companions through the patient years,
Than one whose heritage is loveless ease,
That never knows the blessedness of tears.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: Better Lot
