~ Not By The Years We Live But How Much We Give ~

From one day to another

God will gladly give

To everyone who seeks Him

and tries each day to live

A little more closely

to God and to each other,

seeing everyone who passes

as a neighbor, friend or brother,

Not only joy and happiness 

but the faith to meet each trial

Not with fear and trepidation

but with an inner smile-

For we know life's never measured 

by how many years we live,

But by the kindly things we do

and the happiness we give.
