Remember the Good

LILLIAN BARKER DURKEE

Remember the good of yester-years;Whatever your life has been,Forget the fears and forget the tears,The pains and the sense of sin;For only the good to-day is true,And only the good was then;To-morrow, too, has but good for you,For good is Love's gift to men.
