A Beautiful Life

by William M. Golden

Each day I'll do a golden deed

By helping those who are in need

My life on earth is but a span

And so I'll do the best I can

I'll help some one in time of need

And journey on with rapid speed

I'll help the sick and poor and weak

And words of kindness to them I’ll speak

The only life that will endure
Is one that's kind and good and pure
And so for God I'll take my stand
Each day I'll lend a helping hand

While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way

Life's evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done

Where there will be no setting sun
