REFLECTIONS, by HELEN FIELD WATSON

First Line: Thoughts are the consciousness lighted
Last Line: But always we pray they remain.
Subject(s): Memory
Thoughts are the consciousness lighted;
Memories are mirrors of thought
Set here and there. Uninvited
They gleam with the rays they have caught.
Sometimes these thought rays are joyous;
Some are reflections of pain.
Sometimes we wish for dull mirrors,
But always we pray they remain.
