the Sunshine readers:
WHEN TROUBLE COMES
When trouble comes. don't let despair
Add the burden you must bear,
But keep up heart and. smiling. say
The darkest cloud must pass away
DON, say, Why is IT," with frovn
And go with heart and head bowed down:
But lift them both and let your eyes
Behold the sunshine in the skies
Don't 81, and brood DER things gone wrong.
But sing a hopeful. helpful! song.
Or whistle something light and gay.
And thus drive half your cares away
Sing Of the pleasant things life knows
Not Of thorns bu, OF the rose
Each life knows some Joy ever day.
Sure December leads 10 May
The man who sings when troubles here
From trouble has not much 70 fear,
Since Il will never tarry long
When stout heart meets II with song
But brood Ger care and can mako
This life burden that will break 8,
The load is lifted. Let It go.
Then don't forget when things go wrong
To try the magic Of song,
For cheerful heart and smiling face
Bring sunshine TO the shadiest place 80 -
