Folks Need a Lot of Loving

By Strickland Gillilan

Folks need a lot of loving in the morning; The day is all before, with cares beset — The cares we know, and they that give no warning; For love is God's own antidote for fret.
Folks need a heap of loving at the noon-time,— In the battle lull, the moment snatched from strife,— Halfway between the waking and the croontime, While bickering and worriment are rife.
Folks hunger so for loving at the night-time, When wearily they take them home to rest, At slumber-song and turning-out-the-light time — Of all the times for loving, that's the best!
Folks want a lot of loving every minute, The sympathy of others and their smile; Till life's end, from the moment they begin it, Folks need a lot of loving all the while.
— Strickland Gillilan.
