CHEER UP!

(Dedicated to Ali)

Do you, at times, grow sad and lone
When nothing goes your way,
When those you love seem hard as stone
And friends seem far away?

Cheer up, my friend, for someone else
May need your friendship dear,
His hopes to raise, his fears to quell;
Your love and hopes to share.

True, you may feel it’s just not fair,
The Lord should permit you
Heartache and loss; that you must bear
Pain and jealousy, too.

But cheer up, sad though life may be,
And count your blessings o’er.
Someday, true love – your own – you’ll see;
So, cheer up. Pine no more.
