Bedtime prayer


Elvia and I went to the Mass and Rosary walk for Lie yesterday at St. Michael's Cathedral. The priest quoted a verse I had to look up - the words were really apt. I picked it up from
http://www.theinterim.com/1999/march/20collet.html

"Is anybody happier because you crossed their way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to them today?
The day is almost over and its toiling time is through.
Is there anyone to utter now a grateful word of you?
As you take a glance back over the day that is slipping fast,
Did you help a single person of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?
Does the one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you win the day or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God will say,
"You have earned one more tomorrow by the good you did today!"
