60 YEARS OF AGE
J. L. BROWN.
I was born in Randolph county .Ark
ansas, December 7, 1853, soon Decem
ber 7, 1913, I was sixty years of age,
but not sixty years old.
1 am not old, though I am gray,
Though sixty years have passed away,
Like autumn leaves before the blast,
So swift these sixty years have passed
Passed like shadows oe’r the plain,
Passed with their sunshine ‘nd their
rain,
Passed with their pleasures and their
pain,
I cannot call them back again.
So many stand within these years,
That’s blest me with their smiles and 1
tears,
And though the years cannot remain,
Toes© friends will come to me again.
While standing in the morning sun,
’ft uen life’s brief cb had just begun,
Old age then seemed so f aw:;. —
A .My mount 'u V light -ra
To" houis dragged .low in hubs first
morn,
An age from .-now to growing ouru,
And at the ripening of the plum,
It seemed that Christmas would not
come.
But one by one they came and went,
And soon the morn of life was spent,
The bloom of Spring its work had
done,
As ripened fruit in summer sun.
The morning hours passed slow but
soon,
They passed away with power of noon,
And now the noon has passed us by,
The sun hangs low in Western sky.
The summer’s green has turned to
brown,
The leaves of autumn tumble down,
These tell us as time passes by,
That night and winter both are nigh.
And though there's darkness in the
night,
And sadness in the summer's flight,
Yet let me say there is a power,
That makes mo glad this evening hour.
Though sixty years have passed away,
And in their tlight have turned me
gray,
Yet this one word I wish to say,
Please do not call me old today.
For life means live, it don't mean die,
Live here below or upon high —
It is a journey oft that bends,
But this journey never ends.
I’ve seen the sun sink in the west,
Like a wearied man to rest,
I Darkness would vail the sea and shore,
| As if that sub would shine no more.
When winter winds have made their
call,
I’ve seen the flowers fade and fall,
Beneath the sweep of winter's breath,
It seemed to fall asleep in death.
The sun went down but not to die,
| it soon ascends the Eastern sky,
i And with its light as king of day,
! It drives the night so dark away.
• When springtime conies,
And so'ith winds blow,
And sunbeam melt
Old winter's snow,
i i'he flower in sleep’doth not remain,
jit wakes to bud d bloom i>;;ain,
it !li-gs itteaut 'neath the sky,
I That t us that it <.' not uie.
Be, lie who dt away the night
And gi “* us V*«*k a t’ light
Vvho senjs the sunbeams in tneir glow
To melt away the winter's snow.
And give the sleeping flower its birth,
To spring anew fresh from the earth,
In bright sweet beauty for to wave,
In triumph oer its winter grave.
The Star of Hope hangs in our sky,
To tell us we shall never die,
(Though back to dust we fall again,
But in that dust we:ll not remain.
Beneath that Star of Hope I stand.
Within a life that God has planned,
And tell you that this life is good,
If we live it as we should.
I look back o’er these sixty years,
Full of toil and strife and tears;
I look and tell you once again,
Though life is brief, its not in vain.
God leads us in His chosen way,
Up steps of night to gates of day;
He gives us toil then gives us rest,
Why this is so God knoweth best.
