How fine it is at night to say:
"I have not wronged a soul to-day.
I have not by a word or deed,
In any breast sowed anger's seed,
Or caused a fellow being pain;
Nor is there on my crest a stain
That shame has left. In honor's way,
With head erect, I've lived this day."
When night slips down and day departs
And rest returns to weary hearts,
How fine it is to close the book
Of records for the day, and look
Once more along the traveled mile
And find that all has been worth while;
To say: "In honor I have toiled;
My plume is spotless and unsoiled."
Yet cold and stern a man may be
Retaining his integrity;
And he may pass from day to day
A spirit dead, in living clay,
Observing strictly morals, laws,
Yet serving but a selfish cause;
So it is not enough to say:
"I have not stooped to shame to-day!"
It is a finer, nobler thought
When day is done and night has brought
The contemplative hours and sweet,
And rest to weary hearts and feet,
If man can stand in truth and say:
"I have been useful here to-day.
Back there is one I chanced to see
With hope newborn because of me.
"This day in honor I have toiled;
My shining crest is still unsoiled;
But on the mile I leave behind
Is one who says that I was kind;
And someone hums a cheerful song
Because I chanced to come along."
Sweet rest at night that man shall own
Who has not lived his day alone.
Hi Colleen, I'm glad you connected with Jennifer. I am leaving in the AM for a week long trip. I'm booked for testing so may not have too much time, but if I can I'll call you. I'm sure you found it interesting, and hopefully helpful.
Fondly, Dorinne
I feel called to healing and peacemaking myself. I find that dealing with people on a spiritual level is far more rewarding than dealing with them as customers (I tried the "retail thing" and failed miserably), even if I don't get paid in money. I find that working for self enrichment financially just doesn't work for me.
Hi Dorinne.... so nice to see you here on the Architects site... glad you took the time to join... I'm looking forward to learning more about your work... I will check your website....
