Time is not measured by the years that you live,
But by the deeds that you do and the joy that you give -
And each day as it comes brings a chance to each one
To love to the fullest, leaving nothing undone
That would brighten the life or lighten the load
Of some weary traveler lost on life's road -
So what does it matter how long we may live
If as long as we live we unselfishly give.
