Songs of Cheer

Songs of Cheer

Songs of Cheer

John Kendrick Bangs

In an age of cynicism, these poems arrive like sunlight through clouds. John Kendrick Bangs, the American humorist and novelist, gathered verses to prove that joy, when spoken honestly, needs no apology. The poems sing of simple delights: morning light, dear friends, the comfort of love, the small miracles that make a life worthwhile. Written with a child's directness and an adult's earned warmth, these are verses to read aloud, to share, to return to when the world grows heavy. A book that believes, simply and sincerely, that cheer is a gift worth giving.
