Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

Does someone remember that you spoke to him today?

Were you selfish (pure and simple) as you rushed along your way?

Or is someone mightily grateful for a deed you did today?

Can you say tonight in parting with the day thats slipping fast,

That you helped a single brother in the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said-

Is a man whose hopes are fading with courage looking ahead?

Did you waste the day or lose it, was it well or poorly spent-

Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say-

You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today!
