Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa Thursday, December 21, 1911 ----------------------------------------------------- I'm little, but I travel far, My mission is to lessen grief, To search among the plagues that are And banish from the world their chief. However poor you chance to be, Or young or old, or weak, or strong. Your servant I will gladly be, So that you, too, may help along. I help to rid the world of dread, To darkened places I give light; I lift up many a wearied head, I am a watchman in the night. I bring a message of good cheer, I preach the creed of brotherhood; I show the way and make it clear, My object is the common good. I lift the fallen, and the weak, I watch beside the infant's cot; I bring the color to his cheek Who languishes where hope is not. I swing the gates of gloom ajar, I help to make the future bright; I'm little, but I travel far; I am a watchman in the night. ------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 17, 2009 [email protected] This is still neat, 98 years later..
