And the light shone in the darkness and
Against the world the unstilled world still whirled
Above the center of the silent WORD.
~ T.S. Eliot with thanks to S. Charlene Schafer
Thou hast given so much to me,
Give me one thing more – a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart whose pulse may be
Thy praise.
