SPE AK CHEER
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT.

AS you go along life's pathway,
 Oh, my friends, speak words of cheer, For you little guess the many
 Who are hungering to hear. There are hearts bowed down by sorrow That this world can never know, And they need your words of comfort To help tighten up their woe. So, my friends, do not withhold them, But give freely of your cheer, And the sunshine that you scatter
 Will make your own life more dear.
