Thought for the day:

“Give what you have, for you never know — to someone else it may be better than you can even dare to think.”  — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

WORD for the day:

If anyone gives even a cup of cold water . .  . , he will certainly not lose his reward.  (Matthew 10:42)

It isn’t the thing you do, dear,
It’s the thing you leave undone,
That gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word unspoken,
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.

For life is all too short, dear.
And sorrow is all too great,
To allow our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it’s not the thing you do, dear,
It’s the thing you leave undone,
That gives you the bitter heartache,
At the setting of the sun.  — Adelaide Proctor
