"If you had shared another's load
Or eased another's pain
If you have soothed a troubled soul
Life has not been in vain.
If you have cheered another's heart
Or made a sad face smile
If you have calmed another's fear
Your life has been worthwhile.
If you have lent a helping hand
Through times of care and strife
If you have done a little good
You've made the most of life." These sentiments, mother exemplified.
