LIFE
(Detroit News.)
A little house to keep,
A little floor to sweep.A little meal to make,
A little sweet to bake.A little friend to know,
A little flower to grow.A little bird to sing,
A little hand to cling.A little child’s caress,
A little life to bless.A little grief and pain,
A little cheer again.A little fleeting day,
A little prayer to say,A little house to keep,
Life has no joy as deep.
