We are willing; we are ready; We would learn if you would teach; We have hearts that yearn towards duty; We have minds alive to beauty; Souls that any heights can reach. We shall be what you will make us: - Make us strong for time of trial; Patience, kindness, fortitude. 2 THE CHILDREN'S APPEAL. Look into our childish faces; And we all will do our parts. Train us; try us; days slide onward, We Send us to our loving mothers, Such the children's mute appealing. my All inmost soul was stirred, Said, "The children's prayer is heard!" MARY HOWITT. |
