The Way

A loving word,
A cheerful smile,
A kindly thought or two...
A helpful hand,
A ready step,
They help,
my friend, they do.

A patient heart,
A thoughtful deed,
A willingness to cheer...
And endless day
Of service, friend,
These things
make life most dear.

Be kind, do good,
Have loving thoughts
Throughout the livelong day,
Think right, serve God,
Be friend to all,
And you have
found The Way!
