<h2><SPAN name="poem67"></SPAN>“DOES IT PAY?”</h2>
<p class="poetry">If one poor burdened toiler o’er
life’s road,<br/>
Who meets us by the way,<br/>
Goes on less conscious of his galling load,<br/>
Then life, indeed, does pay.</p>
<p class="poetry">If we can show one troubled heart the gain<br/>
That lies alway in loss,<br/>
Why, then, we too are paid for all the pain<br/>
Of bearing life’s hard cross.</p>
<p class="poetry">If some despondent soul to hope is stirred,<br/>
Some sad lip made to smile,<br/>
By any act of ours, or any word,<br/>
Then, life has been worth while.</p>
