Get a smile, give it to those who
no one has ever had.
Get a sunbeam,
foul fly where night reigns.
find a source, who lives in
ago wet mud. Get
a tear,
posala on the face of those who did not cry.
Take courage,
put it in the souls of those who can not fight. Discover
life, tell it
those who can not understand it. Get
hope
and live in its light. Get
goodness,
and send it to people who can not donate.
find love, and
it known to the world.
