WHY DO WE ALL COMPLAIN? 
Why are we all so complaining 
When the rain drops begin to fall? 
You know it’s the rain and sunshine 
That bring flowers and make trees tall. 
Why are we all so complaining 
When there is dirt all over the house? 
You know we could not live without it 
For we could not feed even a mouse. 
Why are we all so complaining 
Because the children are noisy and wild? 
What would the world do without children ? 
What is home without a bright happy child? 
Why are we all so complaining, 
Finding fault with things not worth while? 
You will be happy and so will all others, 
If you change your frown to a smile.
