Pass it On by Rev. Henry Burton Have you had a kindness shown?
ReplyDeletePass it on.
'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on.
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
'Till in heav'n the deed appears—
Pass it on.
Did you hear the loving word?
Pass it on.
Like the singing of a bird?
Pass it on.
Let its music live and grow
Let it cheer another's woe;
You have reaped what others sow—
Pass it on.
'Twas the sunshine of a smile—
Pass it on.
Staying but a little while!
Pass it on.
April beam a little thing,
Still it wakes the flowers of spring,
Makes the silent birds to sing—
Pass it on. The above poem is excerpted from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's Dare to be Healthy, 1991.
