Show THE OPTIMI8T8. Hero's to tho girl with a laugh In her oyo, A twlnkto nhvny In Its brightness, Who' readier far Is to laugh than to cry, Who takes not llfo's weight, but Its lightness; Who dances across care, a sunshiny rny, When worry would make sorrow double. dou-ble. Who linn a great mission In unconscious way Hy singing away toll and trouble. Here's to the tad with a laugh on his hp. And u cheery smile to his fallows, Whoso spirit of hopa never troublo can grip, Whoso buoyancy .every heart mellows. Who turns rrom tho dark sldo a bright, care-freo face. To tako moro persistent the bright one, Who shakes off of gloom every possible trace, And the gospel of cheer holds tho right one. ' Here's to tho man and woman ot hope, Tho people who keep life's best savor, Who Into our lives with their own happy scope Put a saving nnd strengthening flavor. And If nothing more of the world'n work they did, None else their wide usefulness smothers. smoth-ers. For they keep alive faith, and hopo might be hid We could better spare lots of tho other. oth-er. Josh Wink. |
