THOUGHT FOR THE QUIET HOUR
by PATIENCE STRONG
THE HOUSE OF DREAMS
When we built the house of dreams-
We little knew there’d come a day-
When o’er its roof a storm would break
And blow our little world away.
But please God, we shall build again-
And sit at peace beside the fire..
And re-discover things now lost
The joys of home-the heart’s desire.
PATIENCE STRONG
