I wasted an hour one morning beside a mountain stream,
\nI seized a cloud from the sky above and fashioned myself a dream,
\nIn the hush of the early twilight, far from the haunts of men,
\nI wasted a summer evening, and fashioned my dream again.
\nWasted? Perhaps. Folk say so who never have walked with God,
\nWhen lanes are purple with lilacs and yellow with goldenrod.
\nBut I have found strength for my labors in that one short evening hour.
\nI have found joy and contentment; I have found peace and power.
\nMy dreaming has left me a treasure, a hope that is strong and true.
\nFrom wasted hours I have built my life and found my faith anew.<\/p>\n
