A Simple Recipe for Life
by cricketjeff on December 23, 2020. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
Not every day can be a Summer’s day,
Nor every heart see sadness drain away,
But every day you tackle with a will
May be the day that gives your life a thrill.
You cannot furnish every child a meal,
And universal happiness ain’t real,
But you can see those near you aren’t in need
By simply saying no to common greed.
So wake up every morning with a smile
And do your best to make each hour worthwhile.
If we all find a little we can give
The World will be a better place to live.
