Your morning thought

[Guest guest]

At Day's End

Is anybody happier because

you passed his way?

Does any one remember that you

spoke to them today?

The day is almost over,

and its toiling time is through;

Is there anyone to utter now 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 person whose hopes were fading,

now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day or lose 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 God will say,

"You have earned one more tomorrow

by the work you did today?"
