Classic Poem

Brave man and brave woman,
With brave and honest heart,
And with their money will not part,
Will make life a grand success.

I know what it is to labor hard;
And with pluck and ambition
And womanly brain I ventured out
And aspired to learn a trade.

Of laundress and French cleaning
I learned the trade, worked hard,
And strict attention to business paid,
And found it worth while to learn a trade,

If you have no wealth, don't be sad,
Take if for your lot, don't think it bad,
But strive for the front with honest heart,
And exercise your brains and hands —
You will find this is a very good plan.
