THE RICE BELT JOURNA
The Helping Heart
(For the Rice Belt Journal by
W. Lomax Childress,.
There was a fellow we used to have
In this country long ago,
When asked if a task that was har
could be done,
Would answer "I reckon so".
Hauling of rails or carrying of loads
Running or walking slow,
"George do you think that it can b
done"
He would answer "I reckon so".
Then he would buckle down to the tas
Stormy the sky or blue,
And the spirit that answered the ques
tion asKed,
Would always carry him through.
Helping a man was a common task
For he lived where the good deed
grow,
"Can you do me a favour the questio
asked.
He would answer "I reckon so".
Anything he had he would give,
On the hardest trips he would go,
If a man is hungry he ought to be fed,
Said George "I reckon so".
Never a kinder heart to beat,
Or quicker tears to flow,
Discouraged soon will the darknes
fleet
He would answer "I reckon so".
George he sleeps at the edge of tb
woods
Where the mountain blossoms blov
Did he love them all and the song of th
birds
He would answer "I reckon so".
I guess when he stood at the city gate
Where they say the faithful go.
And God was asked if he could go in
He answered "I reckon so".
