Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him 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 brother of the many that you
passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does the man 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 kindess, 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?”
~ By John Hall, “At
Day’s End”
