The Joy of
Unselfish Giving
Time is not measured
by the years that you live,
But by the deeds that you do
and the joy that you give--
And each day as it comes,
brings a chance to each one,
To love to the fullest,
leaving nothing undone.
That would brighten the life
or lighten the load,
Of some weary traveler
lost on Life's Road ---
So what does it matter
how long we may live,
If as long as we live
we unselfishly give.
