At Eventide I want to know, when the day is done, That life has been worth living. That I have brought somebody joy, Through kind, unselfish giving. I want to feel when evening falls, And shadows quickly lengthen That I have made somebody glad, Some weakness I have strengthened. I want to know, that come what may Ive left some cheer and gladness, I want to know, that on my way Ive banished someones sadness. I want to feel, at close of day That someones cares were lighter, Because of kindness I have done May someones life be brighter. - Raymond Orner Gilbart Funeral Home Selkirk in care of arrangements.
