MEMOIRS fWENTY'ElGHT Class Poem INVOCATION Mids't the happy mirth of these pages And Youth's ignorance of care Here is one who would pause for a moment To offer an earnest prayer. That the naive grace of our unskilled hands As we grope through the rigors of time Know the honest love of one's fellow man And the blessing of Him divine. And may all of the wishes, so precious to each And dreams numbering seventy and seven Reach the heights of perfection which everyone seeks And the ultimate beauty of Heaven. May the learning acquired in these four joyous years Serve each well in his toil towards the heights And may Sorrow be sparse with her vial of tears As we course through the river of Life. And as age leaves its blight on our physical forms May our minds stand as ignorant of guile As they did and do now, as unknown to shame As the innocent face of a child. I pray too, that for those who know Fame e'er they die And realize the blessing of wealth That they keep humble beauties fore'er in their eyes And not try to glorify Self. And for those who will taste of Adversity's cup Give them strength to make light of their cares And teach them to humbly forever look up Give them hope, Lord, but save them from Fear. May each innocent virgin and pure-hearted maid Find her life in a new-painted home May she prove her true worth with kind actions and staid And help sanctify each blessed stone. We are young, quite unschooled to the evils of life And we humbly await the things we shall find So I have taken pause to offer this prayer I pray, God, save thy censure!! Be kind! KEITH HARDING 1939
