POEM OF THE DAY:
Do Something...
Do something today to bring gladness
To someone whose pleasures are few
Do something to drive off sadness--
Or cause someone’s dream to come true.
Find time for a neighborly greeting
And time to delight an old friend;
Remember,-- the years are fleeting
And life’s latest day will soon end.
Do something to-day that to-morrow
Will prove to be really worthwhile;
Help someone to conquer sorrow
And greet the new dawn with a smile.
For only through kindness and giving
Of service and friendship and cheer,
We learn the pure joy of giving
And find Heaven’s happiness here.
It is not the load that breaks you down, it is the way you carry it!

I search this poem for so many years and now I find it. I saw this posted in our cabinet placed there by my father. He told me to do this whenever possible. Now I understand how beautiful this poem is. Thank you for posting this wonderful poem.
