Take Home A Smile

  Take home a smile; forget the petty cares,
  The dull, grim grind of all the day’s affairs;
  The day is done, come be yourself awhile:
  To-night, to those who wait, take home a smile.

  Take home a smile; don’t scatter grief and gloom
  Where laughter and light hearts should always
    bloom;
  What though you’ve traveled many a dusty mile,
  Footsore and weary, still take home a smile.

  Take home a smile—it is not much to do,
  But much it means to them who wait for you;
  You can be brave for such a little while;
  The day of doubt is done—take home a smile.
