It costs nothing, but creates
much.
It enriches those who receive,
without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash, and the
memory if it sometimes lasts for ever.
None are so rich they can get
along without it,
and none so poor but are richer
for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the
home, fosters good
will in a business, and is the
countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight
to the discouraged, sunshine
to the sad, and Nature's best
antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged,
borrowed, or stolen, for it
is something that is no earthly
good to anybody till it is given away!
