The sick man sighed for a friendly hand And the smile of a friendly face, But the great passed by and he wondered why. And the swift still kept the pace. They were all too bent on their own affairs To give much thought to another’s cares. But one unknown to pomp or fame Who plodded along the way, Heard the sick man cry as he wandered by. And he turned from his busy day To sit with him for a little while With a cheerful word and a friendly smile. For kindness isn’t of time or chance. Nor something that dwells apart; It does its tasks when a brother asks And throbs in a friendly heart, And I think some day we shall come to find That the greatest man is the one who’s kind.

I used to wonder why it was so few were at the top: Why some men get so far ahead while all the others stop, But that was in the olden days when I was but a lad. I understand it now because experience Pvc had. I went into a corner store to spend my hard-earned pelf. The man who owns the little place was standing there himself, But he was talking politics or something with a friend. And hadn’t time to take the cash which I had come to spend. I fumbled with my pocketbook. I tried to catch his eye. I tried a dozen ways or more to show I’d come to buy. At last I asked him kindly if he cared to wait on me And found how truly insolent a foolish man can be. I do not wonder any more why few men reach the top; I’ve found the answer many times in many a store and shop. A lot of men start out in life with hope and prospects bright, But just a few discover that it pays to be polite. 4s n n y Page Two Hundred Twenty-eight
