My daily wish is that we may See good in those who pass our way; Find in each a worthy trait That we shall gladly cultivate; See in each one passing by The better things that beautify A softly spoken word of cheer, A kindly face, a smile sincere. I pray each day that we may view The things that warm one's heart anew; The kindly deed that can't be bought That only from good are wrought, A burden lightened here and there, A brother lifted from despair, The aged ones freed from distress; The lame, the sick, brought happiness. Grant that before each sun has set We'll witness deeds we can't forget; A soothing hand to one in pain, A sacrifice for love - not gain; A word to ease the troubled mind Of one whom fate has dealt unkind. So, friend, my wish is that we may See good in all who pass our way. ~ Phil Perkins ~ Back |
