Edgar Guest - The Time For BrotherhoodEdgar Guest - The Time For Brotherhood
Work rating: Low


When a fellow`s feeling blue, And is troubled, through and through With a melancholy feeling That he cannot seem to shake, When his plans have gone astray And his hopes have slipped away And he`s standing at the crossroads Wondering which one to take, That`s the time to grab his hand And to make him understand That he`s grieving over trifles And his worries aren`t worth while; That`s the time to slap his back With a good old friendly whack, That`s the time he needs your friendship And the time he wants your smile. When he`s deep down in the dumps And has known life`s rocky bumps, When he`s got the kill-joy notion That his work no longer counts; That`s the time a word of cheer Sweetly whispered in his ear Sets the heart of him to beating `Till his spirit proudly mounts. That`s the time a glad "Hello!" Means far more than you may know, That`s the time a sign of friendship Really does a brother good; That`s the time a word of praise Lifts a fellow up for days, Sends him on his way, rejoicing, That`s the time for brotherhood.
