For June 30th:

“…Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24

Division

“You cannot gather every rose,

            Nor every pleasure claim,

Nor bask in every breeze that blows,

            Nor play in every game.

No billionaire could ever own

            The world’s supply of pearls,

And no man here has ever known

            All the pretty girls.

So take what joy may come your way,

            And envy not your brothers;

Enjoy your share of fun each day,

            And leave the rest for others.

Edgar A. Guest, A Heap o’Livin, 1916
