Are you happier because I passed your way?
Do you remember the words I said to you today?
The day is almost over, and its' toiling time is through.
Can you utter a kind word of me?
Can anyone say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That I’ve helped a single person of the many that I passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what I did or said?
Does one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead
Did you waste the day or use it?
Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
As I close my eyes in slumber,
I know that God will say
I’ve earned one more tomorrow by what I did today
Thank you for reminding all of us of some very important questions that we should ask ourselves daily.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is very profound. I do try and make a sugnifant difference in the lives of other's as well as my own. Each day I try a little harder to make that difference.
ReplyDeletelove it, especially the last sentence
ReplyDeleteHey--
ReplyDeleteThe Kobe pictures are interesting! A lot of folks are hating, but I wonder if it were just a model and not Kobe would people have such strong reactions.
Love the poem, btw. Very eloquent.
