Who hath a book.

More quotes by Wilbur D. Nesbit

Forever on Thanksgiving Day,
The heart will find the pathway home.

He always said "Good mornin',"
An' emphasized the "good,"
As if he’d make it happy
For each one, if he could.
"Good mornin'!" Just "Good mornin'"
To ev'ryone he met;
He said it with a twinkle
That no one could forget.

Your flag and my flag—
And how it flies to-day!
In your land and my land,
And half the world away!
Rose-red and blood-red,
The stripes forever gleam;
Snow-white and soul-white—
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars to shine aright—
The gloried guidon of the day, a shelter through the night.
