THE BEST KIND OF A GAME

Let’s play that the whole world is shining, And filled with gay laughter so bright; With never a word of repining From morning to star-covered night. Let’s play that the rose’s red beauty, Is filling the land with perfume, Let’s find that there’s pleasure in duty, And nothing but heartache in gloom. Let’s play that the blithe birds are flinging Their happiness all through the air, Let’s play that our life’s full of singing With hope and soft love everywhere.
