Missing

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.
