Speak Gently

Speak gently to the aged one
Grieve not the carewor
m heart
The sands of Life are nearly run

Let such in peace depart

Speak gently to the aged one
For they have had enough to bear
They have passed through this life
As best as they could
It was full of anxious care

Speak gently to the aged one
Let no harsh tone be heard
They have enough they must endure
Without an unkind word

In all, Speak gently
It is better far to rule by love than fear
Speak gently, let not hard words mar
The good we might do here
