"When Day Is Done"

I want to know, when day is done.
That life has been worth living.

That I have brought somebody joy
Through kind unselfish living.

I want to feel, when the evening falls
and shadows quickly lengthen,
That I have made somebody glad,
Some weakness I have strengthened.

I want to know that come what may,
I've left someones sadness.

I want to feel at eventide,
that someones cares were lighter.

Because of a kindness I have done,
may someone's life be brighter.
