A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE by MAZIE V. CARUTHERS

First Line: SOME, FINGERING THE LEAVES OF MEMORY'S BOOK
Last Line: BEGAN, CONTINUED, ENDED -- ALL WITH YOU!
Subject(s): BOOKS; READING;

Some, fingering the leaves of memory's book,
Linger at one especial page to look --
Thus visioning again in fancy's way
The vanished gladness of a by-gone day --
Living once more a happy hour, that cheers
The dreary routine of life's emptier years.

To find just one such page, I do not need.
But opening my book haphazard -- read
In every chapter, records of dear days
Set with white mile-stones all along their ways --
Because, Dear Heart, the whole thick volume through,
Began, continued, ended -- all with You!
