Edgar Guest - Why I’m Glad
Work rating: Low

I`M glad I have a wife at home
That`s patient, kind and true;
I `m glad a little tot of three
At home waits for me, too;
I `m glad that I can see them both,
And hear them when they speak,
I `m glad that every night I feel
Their kisses on my cheek.

I `m glad that I am well and strong,
I `m glad that I can walk 
And breathe the morning Springtime air,
I `m glad that I can talk; 
I `m glad that I have friends who smile
A greeting when I come, 
And I am glad that I can be
Each day a friend to some.

I `m glad that I have work to do,
And splendid books to read,
I `m glad that I can sleep at night,
I `m glad that I`ve a creed
Sustaining me in times of woe,
That soothes me when I grieve; 
And I am glad that there `s a God
In Whom I still believe.

I `m glad that I can laugh and sing,
I `m glad that I can play; 
I `m even glad that I can eat
Three hearty meals a day. 
I `m glad that life is as it is,
I `m glad my wants are small, 
I `m glad for, oh, so many things,
I cannot name them all.
