Just a day
away from perfection !
Give this some contemplation . . .
“Just one day more, keep on goin’
Stop your cryin’ — keep on tryin’
Looks like rain, but it’s a sunny day !
Show your smile, yes, you may !”
So the family creed was what we did need,
All my siblings — each kid — knew what we did.
Of course, I wanted to do good —
even at school they knew I should.
Us kids were goin’ to Sunday School,
We learned many a good rule.
Teacher told us about God’s love,
We anticipated going to Heaven above.
Bedtime was the definite time
to look back, at least it was mine.
What did I do ? Who was it to ?
Of course, I prayed for you !
My own perfection wasn’t here yet,
but thinkin’ at bedtime means I was set:
For a better tomorrow I would try —
Growing older comes bye and bye.
