At Days End

Is anyone happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember because you spoke to him today?
The day is almost over, and it's toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter a kindly word of you?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?
Did you waist the day or loose 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?
