Live in the Sunshine

Margaret E. Sangster

Everywhere

Live in the sunshine, don't live in the gloom,
Carry some gladness the world to illume.

Live in the brightness, and take this to heart,
The world will be gayer if you'll do your part.

Live on the housetop, not down in the cell:
Open-air Christians live nobly and well.

Live where the joys are, and, scorning defeat,
Have a good morrow for all whom you meet.

Live as a victor, and triumphing go
Through this queer world, beating down every foe.

Live in the sunshine, God meant it for you!
Live as the robins, and sing the day through.

Margaret E. Sangster, in Everywhere.

President Roosevelt says that the two chief vices of our civilization are hardness of heart and softness of head. Much trouble also follows softness of heart and hardness of head. Truth is that life daily becomes so increasingly complex that to generalize about it is to state only half truths.
