WHY NOT EVERYDAY?
In her eyes there was moon light,
And a rose in her hair;
In his arms there was no one,
He could just put her there!
BUT she wouldn’t let him. She was annoyed. She thought she had reason to doubt his love. But he protested vigorously. He loved her more than anything else in the world. For sooth, he would give his very life for her. He would go through fire and sword to prove his love for her. She was mollified, but stll unbelieving.
“If you love me so much, why did you not come to see me yesterday?” she asked. “How could I come yesterday, darling,” he replied. “It was raining and I had no umbrella. Surely, you wouldn’t want to get wet,”he continued. And he was amazed that she was surprised at his words. Poor rustic swain!
However he is not alone, for there are thousands like him who would fain do great deeds of herosim, yet fail when it comes to making the little sacrifices of everyday life.
Most of us fall in the same category. There’s Daddy who will sweat to death trying to earn enough money to provide luxuries for his family but who finds it impossible to give up his game of Sunday bridge at the Club and spend more time knowing his children and winning their confidence and love. There’s mother who will sit night after night watching them on their sick bed; but when they are well, she’s too tired to tell them a bedtime story, and too busy with parish or social work to accompany her children to the cinema.
John will forgo seeing a tournament game if Jane’s illness makes his presence necessary in the house; but if she wants him to accompany her to a friend’s party, she will have to go alone, for John must go to a hockey game that same evening,. As for Jane, she will sell her watch to get John out of any serious truble; but let him just use her fountain pen, and she brings the house down with, “You can use anything else of mine, but not my fountain pen.”
Statistics fo the causes of family quarrels and bickering show that tht phrase has a thousand variations – it is always “Anything else in the world except…” or the parallel, “I could forgive anything else except….”
It’s the little things that make a house a home
