THE CHEERFUL HEARTWhether the world be bright or darkDepends on how we take it.Much of the misery we knowIs just because we make it.If on the windows of the soulWe let self’s cobwebs gather,We may be sure all through our livesWe’ll see cloudy weather.A cheerful heart and willing handsTo do kind deeds for othersWill make the people whom we meetAll seem like friends and brothers.Just try it, you who think the worldBy joy and hope forsaken,And I am sure that you will findThat you have been mistaken.
