Single person Quote by Samuel Britten
““Is anybody happier, Because you passed his way? Does anyone remember That you spoke to him today? This day is almost over; And its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now? A friednly word for you? Can you say tonight in passing With the days that slipped so fast, That you helped a single person, Of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing Over what you did or said? Does one whose hopes were fading Now with courage look aheda? Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or poorly spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness Or a scar of discontent?””
