“Just Be Glad”

By James Whitcomb Riley

O HEART of mine, we shouldn’t worry so! What we have missed of calm, we couldn’t have, you know! What we have met of stormy pain And of sorrow’s driving rain, We can better meet again, If they blow.
We have erred in that dark hour we have known, When the tears fell with the showers all alone; Were not shine and shadow blent As the gracious Master meant? Let us temper our content With his own.
For we know not every morrow can be sad; So, forgetting all the sorrow we have had, Let us fold away our fears, And put by our foolish tears, And through all the coming years Just be glad.
— James Whitcomb Riley.
