Mrs. H. F. Jackson Quote
“Like a blind spinner in the sun, I tread my days. I know that all the threads will run Appointed ways; I know each day will bring its task, And being blind, no more I ask. I do not know the use or name Of that I spin; I only know that some one came And laid within My hand the thread, and said, "Since you Are blind, but one thing you can do."”
