More

by Clarence Edwin Flynn
There is more light than shadow;
There are more smiles than cares;
More grass grows on the meadow
Than brambles, weeds, and tares.

There is more song than weeping;
There is more sun than rain;
There is more golden reaping
Than lost and blighted grain.

There is more peace than terror;
There is more hope than fear;
There is more truth than error;
More rights than wrongs appear.

On the long road to glory
We climb more than we fall;
And by and large the story
Comes out right after all.

I needed something hopeful to follow that last post. It is May Day, after all.
