Martha

I must be saving these days I have no money to save I must save health and strength Enough to last me for a long while I must save my nerves And my thoughts and my mind And the fire of my spirit I must be saving the tears that flow I shall need them for a long, long while I must save endurance for these stormy days There is so much, (strengthen me) I need in my life, (so I'll see) Warmth of feelings and a kind of heart These things I lack, of these I must be saving All these, the gifts of God I wish to keep How sad I should be If I lost them quickly
