God grant that I may see the joke of things,
The little things that bother now and then.
God grant my sense of humor may be strong
To weep a bit -- and yet, to smile again.
God grant there be a chuckle in each tear,
To every trial God grant a funny half.
And when I'm to be judged, perhaps He'll say:
"Are you the soul who always tried to laugh?"
And when I nod and answer, "Yes, I am.
I tried to kill my trouble with a grin."
Perhaps He'll smile and say, "That was a task.
But here's the Gate of Heaven,
Enter in.
