THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
It's simple and childish old world
And good4 when its weakness you learn;
1t likes to be liked. more than anything else,
And it's willing TO like in return.
We've called ii hard names for so long,
And told OF its faults without end,
a bit hardened crISty on top.
But it's glad to be friends to a friend.
And come to take stock of the world
You've really to stand off:
You're just like the of it-full of the faults
At which It's easy to scoff.
And you'll find, when you're lonesome at times,
AS along life'S journey wend
If you'll your own heart and be good to the
world,
It's glad to be friends to a friend
