LET'S FORGET by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER

Let's forget the many troubles
That the year now gone has brought;
Let's forget its pain and sorrow;
Let's forget our burdened lot;
Let new hope and courage cheer us;
Sunshine always follows rain;
There's a challenge in the Future;
Men are needed now, again!

Let's forget deflated values;
Money is no gauge of souls;
Let's forget restricted markets;
Profit lies in higher goals;
Serve in love some weaker brother;
There's so many need your smile;
Make the whole year bright for others,
Then your life will be worth while.

Let's forget distrust and hatred;
War from fear is oft aborning;
Let's forget our narrow boundings;
Work for peace and greet its dawning;
Let's forget the self that's held us
In our petty, cabined state;
Let us meet our challenge boldly
And in meeting it be great.
