LIFE.s MIRROR.
There are loyal hearts, there are spirit.

There are loyal hearts. there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are pure and true:
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow,
"A strength IN your utmost need:
Have faith, and a score of hearts will show
Their faith In your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gifts will be paid In
kind,
And honor will honor meet,
And a smile that Is sweet will surely find
a smile that Is just as sweet!
Give pity and sorrow to those who mourn,
You will gather in flowers again,
The scattered seeds from your thought out
borne,
Though the sowing seemed but vain.
For life IS the mirror of king and slave.
It's just what we are. and do.
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
