LIFE's MIRROR
BY Madeline S. Bridges,

BY Madeline ,. bridges.
There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow.
And strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth. and your gift 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.
For life Is the mirror Of king and slave,
IT'S just what you are and do:
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.
