THE JOY OF LIVING

            Do something today to bring gladness
To someone whose pleasures are few,
Do something to drive off sadness -
Or cause someone's dream to come true.

            Find time for a neighborly greeting
And time to delight an old friend;
Remember, - the years are fleeting
And life's latest day will soon end!

            Do something today that tomorrow
Will prove to be really worth while;
Help someone to conquer sorrow
And greet the new dawn with a smile -

            For only through kindness and giving
of service and friendship and cheer
We learn the pure joy of living
And find heaven's happiness here.
