KISS HER EVERY DAY
[Welland Telegraph December 1903]
Reader, have you got a wife?
Kiss her every day,
“Tis the duty of your life
To kiss her every day.
Tell her that the world is graced
By such as she, the true, the chaste-
Then put your arms around her waist
And kiss her every day.
Tell her that she’s growing prettier
Every dawning day,
Dearer, nicer, wiser, wittier,
Kiss her every day.
Many lives are graveward carried,
Wounded, bruised and hurt and harried,
They stopped their sparking when they married;
Often that’s the way.
Tell your wife how much you’d miss her,
If she went away.
Take her in your arms and kiss her,
Forty times a day.
Tell her she’s your life and crown,
Never leave her with a frown,
Keep your ugly temper down,
And kiss her every day.
Winter, summer, rain or shine,
Never sulk and blame,
Spring or autumn, never whine
For your own good name.
Sometimes she’ll be cross and cold;
Never mind, she’s good as gold,
Let her have her little scold,
And kiss her just the same.
When there’s something wrong with baby,
Kiss her every day.
‘Twill help to soothe her worry, may be,
Kiss her every day.
Kiss her when her soul is sad
Kiss her when her heart is glad
Be your fortune good or bad,
Kiss her every day.
Toronto World.
