BENEDICTION

“_I know not how he chose you from the crowd, came to your door, and

grasp your hand to ask his way._”

--_Rabindranath Tagore._

You may not question why he chose you

From so many more--

Why his tiny hands have fumbled

At your door.

To a land of fifty cross-roads

He has come to-day,

Placed his eager hands in yours,

And asked his way.

He will follow where you lead him--

Bright and stormy skies;

And at evening still beside you

Close his eyes.

Keep his trust, O You the Chosen--

Far shall be his way.

Clasp him to your heart and bless him

With all you may.
