To a Friend |
Here are two versions of this poem.
The one at the far right was supplied by Linda Mullins, daughter of Elsie Barnett's daughter Catherine. The handwritten original did not have a title. |
It is enough for me, dear friend,
To know that I have you, To know for me a prayer you’ll send, Whenever I feel blue. The evening sky’s more full of stars, The morning sun more bright. And even thru the darkest hours There shines for me a light That keeps me calm, serene, & sure, God’s way is always best, And for whate’er befalls my path, His Grace is manifest. |
It is enough for me, my friend,
To know that I have you; To know for me a prayer you’ll send, Whenever I feel blue. The evening sky’s more full of stars, The morning sun's more bright; And even thru the darkest hours, There glows for me a light That keeps me calm, serene, and sure, God’s way is always best. And for whate’er befalls my path, His Grace is manifest. |
