Making Life Worth While

 Every soul that touches yours –

 Be it the slightest contact –

 Get there from some good;

 Some little grace; one kindly thought;

 One aspiration yet unfelt;

 One bit of courage

 For the darkening sky;

 One gleam of faith

 To brave the thickening ills of life;

 One glimpse of brighter skies –

 To make this life worthwhile

 And heaven a surer heritage.

                                                                           - George Eliot
