The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

December 29

Again I shall behold thee, daughter true;

The hour will come when I shall hold thee fast

In God's name, loving thee all through and through.

Somewhere in his grand thought this waits for us.

Then shall I see a smile not like thy last—

For that great thing which came when all was past,

Was not a smile, but God's peace glorious.
