SEASON’S GREETINGS

As we get into the swing of things for the Holiday Season, I found the poem by William Allen Dromgoole most apropos.

An old man going a lone highway
Came at the evening, cold and grey,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a swollen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
That swollen stream held no fears for him.
But he paused when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You're wasting strength with building here.
Your journey ends with the ending day.
You never again must pass this way.
You've crossed this chasm deep and wide.
Why build this bridge at the even' tide?"

The builder lifted his old grey head.
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This swollen stream that was naught for me,
To him may a pitfall be.
He too must cross in the twilight dim.
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him"

As we build bridges for those who follow, may the work that we do make their paths lass treacherous.  If we make the effort, they will work, live, and find life’s blessings in a healthy, humane and loving environment.
