“Dear Lord, who made the face of me not all that I would have it be, not really homely, only plain, but strong and patient in the main. Yet one, a man apart, who found me fair and gave his heart. Now Lord, that I have grown more sage . . . into middle age. I only ask, as face grows lines of countenance, it be described as kind; that wrinkles by my eyes will show a little humor as I go; that I may view my humble scene with glance of one content, serene, through grateful, shining eyes that see the blessings you have given me.” MenHeartKindMayLittlesMadeShowsEyeAgeFacesAsksFoundStrongGivenGrowsLinesViewsLordKindnessMiddleSceneBlessingFairsGratefulShiningPatientDearHumbleGlancesSageMiddle AgesWrinklesSereneCountenanceHomelyDear LordBlessing YouEyes That SeeShining Eyes Author:Ruth Perry
