My Desire

My Great-Great Grandmother Hannah Cropper Ashby was a wonderful poet. I was recently reading the book of poems she had published and stumbled across this little gem:

MY DESIRE

I want to walk the way of life 
Steady and unafraid.
I want to walk the way of life
With men that God has made.
Not with the proud and haughty few,
Who boast of wealth and power;
But with those who bear the heavy load
Of every day and hour. 


I can't wait until this is me!

  1. I love you, sister! Just remember that there are "those who bear the heavy load
    Of every day and hour" around you right now.

    Don't wait til you travel far and wide to make a difference, start now.
