A Day Worthwhile

                        I count that day as wisely spent
                        In which I do some good.
                        For someone who is far away
                        Or shares my neighborhood.

                        A day devoted to the deed
                        That lands a helping hand,
                        And demonstrates a willingness
                        To care and understand.

                        I long to be of usefulness
                        In little ways and large,
                        Without a selfish motive
                        And without the slightest charge.

                        Because in my philosophy
                        There is never any doubt
                        That all of us here on earth
                        Must help each other out.

                        I feel that day is fruitful
                        And the time is worth the while,
                        When I promote the happiness
                        Of one enduring smile!
