Upon Graduation from Bible college this poem was given. I would like to know who the Author was: You have each been given, A box of tools and a book of rules? and each much make, ere life is flown; a stumbling block or a stepping stone.

Poem begins by saying that "Common people like you and me are builders for eternity" concludes with "To each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, a book of rules - And each must build, 'ere life has flown - A stumbling block or a stepping stone." by R. Sharpe

I found it on a web page for an elementary school.
