DO YOU WISH THE WORLD
WERE BETTER

Do you wish the world were better ?
Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your actions.
Keep them always straight and
true;
Rid your mind Of selfish motives;
Let your thoughts be clean and
high.
You can make a little Eden
OF the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world we're wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start.
By accumulating wisdom
In the scrapbook Of your heart;
Do not waste n page on folly;
Live to learn. and learn to I've.
If you want to give them knowledge
You must get it, ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just TO scatter seeds Of kindness
AS. you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many
May be ofttimes traced to one.
As the hand that plants the acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.
