Wasted Hours

________________________________________________
Title:     Wasted Hours
Author: Madge Morris Wagner [More Titles by Wagner]

If that thy hand with heart-will sought,
To work with Christ-love underlying,
But ere thou hadst accomplished aught
Time passed thee by while vainly trying,
The wasted hour, the vain endeavor,
Will wait thee in the far forever.

If thou hadst toiled from dawn till eve,
But felt no thrill of joy in giving
No heart made glad, no want relieved,
Lived but for selfish love of living,
Though idle hours went by thee never,
The hours are lost to thee forever.

[The end]
Madge Morris Wagner's poem: Wasted Hours
