Life

Life I know not what thou art 

Where thou are from, when thou dids’t start. 

I only know I have a life to live. 

For it I’ll give the best that I can give.

 

When I am weary I’ll try to be gay. 

When others are saddened I’ll pause by their way 

If I have a doubt that life is worthwhile, 

I’ll come to my senses, continue to smile. 

(1941)
