IT DON'T TAKE LONG - by Eldred Herbert

 

IT  DON'T  TAKE  LONG by   Eldred Herbert It don’t take long to listen to another fellow’s grief,It don’t take long to sympathize and help him find relief;You will make his life much happier to give him this boost,And your soul will be contented when you come home to roost.It don’t take long to smile and say a pleasant “How are you”?It means so much when someone feels down-hearted, sad and blue;‘Twill make the day turn sunny on a very rainy day,And you will feel much happier, as you go on your way. It don’t take long to sit a while when someone’s sick in bed,A cheery word will often soothe a tired, aching head;And they will think you quite a guy, and find the day is bright,So sit a while, and chat a while, your heart will glow with light.
