Traveling Through Life

Traveling Through Life

 

Through this toilsome world, “Alas” only

And only once I pass.

 

If a kindness I may show, if a good

Deed I may do, to a suffering

Fellow man, let me do it while I can.

 

Give me a sense of humor Lord; give

Me the grace to see a joke,

To get some happiness from life and

Pass it on to other folk.

 

Don’t let me worry much about the

Fussy thing called “I”.

 

Please, don’t let me delay, for it’s

Plain, I shall never pass this

Way again.
