Forget and Remember

By Priscilla Leonard

FORGET each kindness that you do As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls to you The moment you have won it; Forget the slander that you hear Before you can repeat it; Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer, Wherever you may meet it.
Remember every kindness done To you, whate’er its measure; Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made And keep it to the letter; Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor.
Remember all the happiness That comes your way in living; Forget each worry and distress, Be hopeful and forgiving; Remember good, remember truth, Remember heaven’s above you; And you will find, through age and youth, True joys, and hearts to love you.
— Priscilla Leonard.
