The Man Who Can Fight And Smile
There is need in the world of men today
For the man who can fight and smile;
For the man who can to the field away
With a smile on his lips the while.
There is need in the world of women to-
day
For the woman who smiles and gives;
Who can hide her tears and her deep dls-
may
While in sorrow she works and lives.

With its strife and bloodshed and grief,
We must lift our hearts from the clouds
of gray,
And SO glimpse the sunshine brief.
We must fight with faith as we'll as a
For faith will make victory sure;
With the knowledge that right shall tri-
umph still,
And bring a peace to endure.
So here's to the man who can fight and
smile,
And the woman who smiles as she gives;
