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.

Morning

More quotes by Wilbur D. Nesbit

His kingdom is
His inglenook—
Who hath a book.

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

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.

I wake up with the news
of bloodshed.
I feel my body,
desperate to know whether
I’m still alive.
