LESSON 46 THE POWER OF KIND WORDS

THE POWER OF KIND WORDS

1. When the cares of life are many,

And its burdens heavy grow

For the ones who walk beside you,

If you love them, tell them so.

What you count of little value

Has an almost magic [1] power,

And beneath that cheering sunshine

Hearts will blossom like a flower.

2. So, as up life's hill we journey,

Let us scatter all the way

Kindly words, to be as sunshine

In the dark and cloudy day.

Grudge [2] no loving word, my brother,

As along through life you go,

To the ones who journey with you;

If you love them, tell them so.

[1] magic: Having strange, wonderful power.

[2] grudge: Give against your will.
