"If you can sit at set of sunand count the deeds that you have done
and counting find
one self-denying act,
one word that eased the heart of him that heard,
one glance most kind
which fell like sunshine where he went,
then you can count that day well spent!
But, if all the livelong day
you've cheered no heart,
by yea or nay,
if through it all you've nothing done
that you can trace
that brought the sunshine to one face,
no act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
then you can count that day as worse than lost."
-Robert Browning
