Show PROPI nil 14 US By Berton Braley. Thay talk abpUt thS "vale of tears, "j Tills world of "))aln and want and: woe." And I'll admit that it appears At times a pretty tragic shew . And yet. I'm nol so sure. I know How ofti n mortals sob and sigh, 1 But none the le3S this, too, is so; j We laugh a lot more than we cry. For life is full of Utile jokes I That bring a snicke or n nout. And chuckles far outnumber croaks. . As n--i as I can figure out. 'ihere -eaps Oi things U laugh about, We can't avoid it if we try. So tbn1' b the Aorld Is harsh, no doubt : We l:.gvi r. i0t more than we cry. I When sorrow eome and bitter grief j Tears are a balm that soothe the ache. .They bring a deep and sure relief I To hearts that otherwise might' break. But when we sum up things, and lake An average, we can't deny, In spllc-.of all the kicks we make We laugh a lot more than we cry' (Copyright. 1922, NEA ervice) rvr. |
