There's an old Chinese proverb

that, if practiced each day,

Would change the whole world

in a wonderful way -

Its truth is so simple,

it's so easy to do.

And it works every time

and successfully, too...

For you can't do a kindness

without a reward,

Not in silver nor gold

but in joy from the Lord -

You can't light a candle

to show others the way

Without feeling the warmth

of that bright little ray...

And you can't pluck a rose,

all fragrant with dew,

Without part of its fragrance

remaining with you.
