Show J Just F Folks 5 By Edgar Edger A. A Guest HAPPINESS What is happiness and how Can I find or keep It now Is It something I can gain And a portion long retain Or like manna would you say It ft Is only for for the day Once I thought If I am strong All is well and nothing wrong When my my patch of sky Is fair Ive I've no reason to despair When from suffering I am free Happiness belongs to me But my own success I find Brings with it no peace of mind Strangely now my life appears Not a thing of cogs and gears Cold old and measured to the line Jine Set apart and wholly mine Ine In this case of flesh and bone Countless other lives I own All AH the pain my loved ones bear Every hour Is mine to share Let a friend In sorrow be Happiness Is lost to me When I smile It is to tell teU Those I love that hour are well When I dance and when I sing This the glad report I bring All is right as it can be With the many dear to me rae Copyright 1936 Edgar A.
