MuAT WE CANNOT DO

Copyright, 1920, by Edgar A. Guest)
The cheerful man can help the sad
And win him back to laughter glad,
lie can go forth and freely share
His Joy with those hoset by care.
The strong man walking on life's way
Can lend his strength from day to day
To weaker men in troubles clutch
And give the help they need SO much,
The rich man from his lavish store
Can aid the poor man at his door;
And by one kindly helpful deed
He can become the friend In need.
But we who have good faith must stay
And watch a loved one, night and day
Making . desperate fight TO live
And what we would we cannot give.
oh, we have gold which we can lend
And strength AT times to play the friend.
But IN those hours OF true despair
The health We owe we cannot share.
