Be Glad by Helen Steiner Rice

Be glad that your life has been full and complete. Be glad that you’ve tasted the bitter and sweet.

Be glad that you’ve walked in sunshine and rain, Be glad that you’ve felt both pleasure and pain. Be glad that you’ve had such a full, happy life.

Be glad for your joy as well as your strife. Be glad that you’ve walked with courage each day.

Be glad you’ve had strength for each step of the way. Be glad for the comfort that you’ve found in prayer. Be glad for God’s blessings, His love and His care.
