"But not today, Then be content, poor heart, God's plans like lilies pure and white, unfold; We must not tear the class-shut leaves apart. Time will reveal the chalices of gold And if, through patient toil, we reach the land Where tired feet with sandals loosed, may rest, When we shall clearly see and understand. I think that we will say, "God knew the best." - May Ruby Smith [From 7 Aug 1947]
