This week a special friend
and a lovely lady passed away
Kelsey
was such a happy lady
dispite her various illnesses
This song reminded me
so much of her attitude to life
BRIDGE THE ROAD TO HEAVEN
WITH A SMILE
WITH A SMILE
words and music by
E. Margaret Parker ~ 1922
There is not a care in all the
world but smiles can make it light,
Then smile as on your way you go;
There is not a cloud so dark but
has a silver lining bright,
And every trial met is even so.
Tho’ your pathway seems the roughest,
and the rocks and thorns abound,
Just smile away the ache and pain;
Tho’ the ruts are deep and muddy,
don’t give up and turn around,
For soon the sun will shine away the rain.
Tho’ the storm may gather o’er you,
foes assail without, within,
Fear not the danger or the strife;
If you smile and fight with courage,
there is One to help you win
A crown of joy and everlasting life.
world but smiles can make it light,
Then smile as on your way you go;
There is not a cloud so dark but
has a silver lining bright,
And every trial met is even so.
Refrain
You can bridge the road to
Heaven with a sunny smile,
And its miles of care and
And its miles of care and
sorrow with a song beguile;
Doubt and fear will not molest;
Doubt and fear will not molest;
you will be supremely blest
If you bridge the road to
If you bridge the road to
Heaven with a smile.
and the rocks and thorns abound,
Just smile away the ache and pain;
Tho’ the ruts are deep and muddy,
don’t give up and turn around,
For soon the sun will shine away the rain.

Fear not the danger or the strife;
If you smile and fight with courage,

A crown of joy and everlasting life.
