Every Day's A Holiday

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Every day's a holiday if you have peace of mind
Conflict free, calm liberty
and justice that is blind

Every day's a holiday if you have best of health
Disease free, well sportily
and fitness that is wealth

Every day's a holiday if you have care of friends
Traitor free, true loyalty
and comfort that is mends

Every day's a holiday if you have love of heart
Hatred free, warm amity
and passion that is smart

Every day's a holiday if you have joy of life
Doldrums free, fun jollity
and delight that is rife

Every day's a holiday if you have main of soul
Censure free, firm dignity
and human that is whole
