Life is a gift to be used every day
Not to be smothered and hidden away
It is not a thing to be stored in the
chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and
treasure your best;
It is not a joy to be sipped now and
then
And promptly put back in a dark place
again.
Life is a gift that the humblest may
boast of
And one that the humblest may well
make the most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the
day,
Wear it and use it as much as you
may;
Don’t keep it in niches and corners
and grooves.
You will find that in service its
beauty improves.
EDGAR A.GUEST
