A bag of tools by R. L Sharpe

A bag of tools by R. L Sharpe

"Isn't it strange that princes and kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings;
And common folks, like you and me,
All are builders for eternity."

"To each is given a book of rules,
A shapeless mass and a bag of tools;
And each must shape ere life has flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.

Life’s Mirror by Madeline Bridges

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true,
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best shall come back to you.

Give love and to your heart will flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and a score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.

For life is the mirror of king and slave,
’Tis just what you are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you
