Not “How did he die?” But “How did he live?”

3

Not “What did he gain?” But “What did he give?”

4

Not “What was his station?”But “Had he a heart?”

5

And “In Reaching Out, did he play a part?”

6

Not “What was his shrine?” Nor “What was his creed?”

But “had he befriended those really in need?”

7

Not “What did the piece in the newspaper say?”But “How many were sorry

when he passed away?”

8

Was he ever ready with a word or good cheer,To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

9

These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man,

regardless of birth.

The End

May the Darkness of Ignorance in us be

dispelled by the Light of Enlightenment.
