Then Laugh

Then Laugh
 
Build for yourself a strongbox,
     Fashion each part with care;
When it’s strong as your hand can make it,
     Put all your troubles there;
 
Hide there all thought of your failures;
     And each bitter cup that you quaff;
Lock all your heartaches within it,
     Then sit on the lid and laugh.
 
Tell no one else its contents,
     Never its secrets share;
When you’ve dropped in your care and worry
     Keep them forever there;
 
Hide them from sight so completely
     That the world will never dream half;
Fasten the strongbox securely;
     Then sit on the lid and laugh.
 
by Bertha Adams Backus (1911)
