My daily wish is that we maySee good in those who pass our way;
Find in each a worthy traitThat we shall gladly cultivate;
See in each one passing byThe better things that beautify
A softly spoken word of cheer,A kindly face, a smile sincere.
I pray each day that we may viewThe things that warm one's heart anew;
The kindly deed that can't be boughtThat only from good are wrought,
A burden lightened here and there,A brother lifted from despair,
The aged ones freed from distress;The lame, the sick, brought happiness.
Grant that before each sun has setWe'll witness deeds we can't forget;
A soothing hand to one in pain,A sacrifice for love - not gain;
A word to ease the troubled mindOf one whom fate has dealt unkind.
So, friend, my wish is that we maySee good in all who pass our way.
