Let me today do something that will take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may I be so favored as to make Of joy's too scanty sum a little more. Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend. Nor would I pass unseeing worthy need, Or sin by silence when I should defend. However meager be my worldly wealth, Let me give something that shall aid my kind -- A word of courage, or a thought of health Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find. Let me tonight look back across the span 'Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say -- Because of some good act to beast or man -- 'The world is better that I lived today.' 'A Morning Prayer' by Ella Wheeler Wilcox |

Hello Felicity, comp is all sluggish at the mo, usually does this around this time, then perks up again. I thought it was nice, I was looking for a poem about our lives being like the wick in a candle, gathering simple deeds of patience, love and joy which make the world brighter. Found this prayer instead. Will let you know the website if I can find it again. Liz x |
