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?
Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,
Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?
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 leave a trail of kindness?
Or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber,
Do you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow,
By the work you did today?
Because giving is caring,
And caring is loving.
