“Is this life worth living ” you ask;
Perhaps not – to those who repine,
And murmur at life’s daily task,
Commencing each day with a whine!
The cowards who fret at their lot,
And listlessly pass time away,
Are not worth the six-by- three plot,”
Or the shroud that’ll wrap their dead clay!
Yes, life is worth living! thank God!
To those who are honest and true;
Who smile at misfortune, and plod
Till success doth crown them anew!
Oh! life is God’s blessing to man.
Though ever so humble our lot;
Let each do the good that he can, –
‘Tis better to “wear out” than rot!
Then, let not a murmur be heard.
Let duty encompass each hour;
Thank God for the life that is spar’d,-
In labor is honor and power!
