As I stumble through this life,
Help me to create more laughter than tears
Dispense more happiness than gloom
Spread more cheer than despair
Never let me become indifferent,
That I will fail to see the wonder
In the eyes of a child
Or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that my total effort
Is to cheer people, make them happy
And to forget at least momentarily
All the unpleasantness in their lives
And in my final moment,
May I hear You whisper
"When you made My people smile you made Me smile".
