Tell Her So

By D. D. Fitch

D. D. FITCH

You may have had many hard battles to fight since leaving home in the morning; affairs may have taken a trying turn, and you may feel the need of sympathy and comfort when you return at night. But do not forget, when you are in need of cheer, that it is your privilege to dispense it. When you enter the home, and find the wife and mother burdened with cares and perplexities, you may forget your own troubles in an effort to smooth her pathway.

Try the advice given in the following poem, and notice the happiness that will result:—

“Amid the cares of married life, In spite of toil and business strife, If you value your dear wife, Tell her so.

“When days are dark and deeply blue, She has troubles, same as you; Show her that your love is true; Tell her so.

“Don’t act, if she has passed her prime, As if to please her were a crime; If e’er you loved her, now’s the time— Tell her so.

“She’ll return, for each caress, A hundredfold of tenderness; Hearts like hers were made to bless— Tell her so.”
