Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?

Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?

Or a churlish sort of “Howdy” and then vanish in the throng?

Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushedalong the way,

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

Can you say tonight, in parting with the days that’s slipping fast,

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

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

Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day, or uic essay examples it, was it well or sorely spent?

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

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