The Keys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have but one thing left

To give to you, my sweet;

I give to you my keys

To happy, lasting marriage.

 

If he is happy be happy;

If he is sad be happy;

If he is angry be happy;

If he is mad be happy.

 

If you are happy be happy;

If you are sad seem happy;

If you are angry seem happy;

If you are mad seem happy.

 

Happily, agree with all;

Then, do what is right;

Most important of all

I think this was your advise to your mother. I admit I never even thought of this one. Would be hard to do with kids running around. LOL

I'm laughing too! Now that's what I call philosophy!

One day, I'll embroider your words on a sampler and hang it in an appropriate place!
