THE SPAN OF LIFE, by J. TALBOTT
First Line: Happiness, pain
Last Line: The battle have won.
Subject(s): Life
First Line: Happiness, pain
Last Line: The battle have won.
Subject(s): Life
Happiness, pain,
Laughter, tears,
Crowded into
A few short years.
Tenderness, love,
Memories fair,
Help so much
The burden to bear.
Patience, faith,
Work to be done,
Until I, too,
The battle have won.
