BE WHAT YOU CAN.
If I cannot be a sunbeam, Shining full and far, Lighting up the earth with radiance, I will be. a star. If I cannot be a lighthouse Gleaming out at sea, I will be a tiny glow-worm Shining cheerily. If I cannot be a river Flowing deep and strong. I will be a merry streamlet. Hastening along. If 1 cannot be a song-bird Malting music, sweet, 1 will be a homely sparrow Chirping ‘ ‘ Tweet, tweet, tweet! ’ ’ If I cannot bo a rose-tree Shedding fragrance sweet, 1 will bo a modest daisy Blooming ’neath the feet. If I cannot be a poem Thrilling all who read, I will be a thought of comfort Just to one in need.
