Things will sometimes hurt us,
And people won't be true -
Some will never give to us
The things we think our due!
But whatever happens -
Ne'er let your praises dim;
Raise your voice in thankfulness,
Take your joy from Him!
The sacrifice of thankfulness
Is better than to grieve;
Keeps your heart prepared
The better to receive!
Don't close your heart to others,
Still let the sunshine in;
And while you wait for others
Take your joy from Him!
~ Lynn Fenimore Nuzzi
