WISHING

Do you wish the world were better? Let me tell you what to do: Set a watch upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true. Rid your mind of selfish motives, Let your thought be clean and high; You can make a little Eden Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser? Well, suppose you make a start, By accumulating wisdom In the scrap-book of your heart. Do not waste one page on folly; Live to learn, and learn to live. If you want to give men knowledge, You must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day Just to scatter seeds of kindness As you pass along the way; For the pleasures of the many May be oft times traced to one, As the hand that plants an acorn Shelters armies from the sun.
