Life Needs Us All There is so much that we can do — A kind word spoken here and there Will ease another's weight of care; Life needs us all. The splendid few Who rise to fame, with all their skill Your post and mine can never fill. If we who have not wealth or fame Should fail in all our little deeds, The world would sink beneath its needs. Not by the greatness of a name, Nor by the splendor of success, Are hearts restored to happiness. About us all are those who need The gifts which we have power to give; We can be friendly while we live And by some thoughtful, kindly deed, Can help another on his way — And that is service, come what may. What though we miss the heights of skill, The splendor of the greater few, There is so much that we can do; There is a place which we can fill — Always about us while we live Are those who need what we can give. This poem was taken from a favorite book of Mike’s titled The Passing Throng by Edgar Guest.
