If I can leave behind me here and there <br />A friend or two to say when I am gone <br />That I had helped to make their pathways fair, <br />Had brought them smiles when they were bowed with care, <br />The riches of this world I'll carry on. <br /> <br />If only three or four shall pause to say, <br />When I have passed beyond this earthly sphere, <br />That I brought gladness to them on a day <br />When bitterness was their's, I'll take away <br />More riches than a billionaire leaves here.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/riches-5/
