If you think some praise is due him,
Nows the time to slip it to him;
For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.
More than flame and more than money
Is the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of friend;
For it gives to life a SAVIOR,
And it makes him strong and Drawer,
and it gives him heart and spirit to the end
If he earns your praise, bestow it;
If you like him. let him know it,
LET the words of true encouragement be said;
Do not wait till life is over
And he's underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead
