'Ict me speak plainly. Government under

(Copyright, 1920, Edgar A, Guest)
Don't want to complain too much,
when I'm put 70 sorrows touch
or am Weighted down with care
Reckon | must have my share,
Things can always so my way;
Now an then there comes day
When II seems the Fates are all
Drivin me against the wall
Kulin' every JOY Ia clutch,
But l never grumhlo much.
Don't know any reason why
Care should always pass me by;
Others EriCve and others weep,
Lose the joys they want 10 keep,
Others have to stapd to care,
An the burdens ] must bear
Are not any bigger than
Those that come to cvtry man,
So l reckon l should he
Patient when mine come to me.
PATIENT that's the very word
when your soul by grief Is stirred,
or the road is rough an you
Scarcely know what next To do,
lcs' be patient, by and by
God win sort u clear the sky
An bring out the sun or send
You a strong and cheerful friend.
Seems that when I'VE stood IN doubt
God has always helped me out
Lord, | fancy, I've not met
Half lifcs' disappointment yet:
I've had troubles, hurts and woes
Like what everybody knows,
But when l run down cares list
There's a lot that | have missed;
Maybe my shares really small
When you come 90 count It ALL
So when rs my time Tor rain.
Lord | Try not 20 complain.
