Is Anybody Happier?

Is anybody happier
Because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember
That you spoke to him today?

The day is almost over,
And it's toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now

A friendly word for you?
Can you say tonight in passing
With the days that slipped so fast,
That you helped a single person,
Of the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing
Over what you did or said?
Does one whose hopes were fading
Now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day, or lose it?
Was it well or poorly spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness
Or a scar of discontent?
