Is anybody happier
because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember
that you spoke to him today?
When the day is almost over
and its toiling time is through,
is there someone now to utter
a kindly word of you?
Can you say tonight in parting
with the day that's slipping fast,
that you helped a single person
of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing
over what you did or said.
Does the man whose hopes were fading
now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or loose it?
Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness
or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber
do you think that you should say,
you have earned one more tomorrow
by the work you did today?
