Her Lenten Sacrifice

He went to see her every night, And blew his wages in On candy, flowers, and auto rides, Her maiden heart to win: But though his adoration waxed His love remained untold, Till Lent began. when suddenly His timid soul grew bold. But even as he bent the knee To breathe his burning VOW, She spoke in silver tones-'It is The Lenten season now, Pronunciation we are taught, Pray do not think l fiout you, But I must make a sacrifice, So I will do without you.

Just Being Happy

Just keeping happy Is a fine thing to do, Looking on the bright side Rather than the blue. Sad or sunny musing Is largely to the choosing, And just being happy Is brave work and true. Just being happy Helps other souls along; Their burdens may be heavy, And they not strong; And your own sky will tighten, If other skies you brighten By just being happy With a heart full of song.
