A perfect optimist Is one
Who speaks no I'll OF others,
Nor repeats the ~ he hears:
Who gives a kind. encouraging word
The heartsick ones to cheer
Who lends helping hand 70 all
Along life's rugged road.
Thus aiding weary ones TO bear
Their ofttimes heavy load;
Who trusts in God Almighty.
Who loves his feilow-man.
And thus in full perfection
Works ous his Makers plan
