| "The Praying Hands." The "Praying Hands"are much,much more Than just a work of art, They are "The Souls Creation" Of a deeply thankful heart- ----------------------- They are a priceless masterpiece That love alone could paint, And they reveal the selflessness Of a unheralded Saint- ------------------------ These hands so scared and toilworn, Tell the story of a man Who sacrificied his talent In accordance with Gods plan- ------------------------ For in Gods plan are many things Man cannot understand, But we must trust Gods judgment And be guided by his hand- ------------------------ Sometimes he asks us to give up Our dreams of happiness, Sometimes we must ..Forgo Our Hopes Of fortune and success, ------------------------- Not all of us can triumph Or rise to heights of fame, And many times what should be Ours, Goes to another Name- ------------------------- But he who makes the sacrific, So another may succeed, Is indeed a True disciple Of Our blessed Saviour's Creed- ------------------------- For when "We give our selves away' In sacrifice and Love, We are 'Laying up our Rich Treasures' In God's Kingdom up above- ------------------------- And hidden in gnarland, toilworn hands Is the truest art of living, Achieved alone by those who've learned The 'Victory of Giving" ------------------------- For any sacrifice on earth Made in the Dear Lord's Name, Assures the giver of a place In Heaven's hall of Fame- ------------------------- And who can say with certainty Where the greatest talents lies, Or Who will be the greatest In Our Heavenly Father's eyes! -------------------------Author. ~Helen Steiner Rice. |
