My treasures I'll give as well as I can."

A child went merrily forth to play,

But a thought, like a silver thread,

Kept winding in and out all day

Through the happy, busy head,

"Mother said, 'Darling, do all you can,

For you are a part of God's great plan.'"

So she helped a younger child along,

When the road was rough to the feet;

And she sang from her heart a little song,
