An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people.
Lydia M. Child
1802-1880
Reformer/Writer/Speaker
Although I am respectful
And have some dignity
I hope when I am buried
People have a laugh over me
Dress me in my ratty jeans
Any funny hat will do
Sprinkle something strange into my ashes
No one will know but you
Have someone crack my favorite jokes
Those who know me will not care
Expect me back when I'm a ghost
If I arrive naked just don't stare
I hope my life brought you joy
Lord knows how hard I tried
I shall not stoop to feeling coy
Just because I up and died.
