A THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE
Reading edition
My heart at times loses a beat, But the trouble will ne’er be known, For I have that much mother wit Each tub has a bottom of its own.
It’s easy to be good in life, But hard to be faultless.
Good thoughts on the mind Should lie deep in the heart.
So bountifully in, flows the word keep peace. Dare not e’er to intrude.
A man who smiles through the deepest of sorrow To his own heart adds a value untold.
