Is anybody happier
because you passed his or her way?!
Does anyone remember
That you spoke to him or her today?!
This day is almost over
And its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now
A friendly word for you?!
Can you say tonight in passing
With the days that slipped so 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 one whose hope is fading
Now with courage to look 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?!
