ONCE IN A WHILE, by                    
First Line: Once in a while the skies seem blue
Last Line: Once in a while.
Subject(s): Laughter; Light; Smiles; Sun


ONCE in a while the skies seem blue,
The way grows pleasant for a mile;
Fair blossoms spring where no flowers grew —
Once in a while.

We leave the road and mount the stile,
And hear the throstles anew —
An anthem in a vaulted aisle.

Grief loses somewhat of its hue,
Tired, tear-worn eyes look up and smile,
When God's sweet sunshine stealeth through,
Once in a while.
