Give your sunshine-that will do
To help the skies turn bright and blue

Of want and sorrow dims the light.

OF all the ioyance of your heart,
Till other lives around yor swing
in the bright spell that helps you sing.
Give your shnshine-it may mean more
Than all the gifts you've bot ght before,
Than gold or gear or gems of worth
To help some humble child of earth.
Aiye your sunshine send it forth,
BY west and south and east and north,
A radiant gift oflight and love
From fountains of delight above.
Give your SUNSHINE let it spill
Beeide the door of want and i'll,
OF pain and strife and care and crime,
Hive light and love and cheer and chime.
