WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

What have you done for the world to-
day,
For all it has done for you
With its life and its chance and its toll
and play,
And its music and laughter and
dew?
What have you done for a world that
sings,
For world that shines as you go;
For a world that is master of mice
and kings,
That can make or can break with
blow?
Why are you troubled and discomfort
Ina world that has done SO much
To dover you with grace of the gifts
it has sent
And the chance it has helped you to
clutch?
For this beautiful world is a place,
indeed,

That should help us to climb to hap

AS the blossom climbs unto the
flower.
What are you doing to help it along
For the help it is giving right now
To the children that list to its prayer
and its song
And are touched by holier vow?
What have you done for world that
can smile
And help you to smile on your way,
And world that is lovelier, mile after
mile,
For the sake of its children each
day? Baltimore Sun.
