The Gladdest Life Poem by Isadora Quagmire

The Gladdest Life

Rating: 5.0

The gladdest life, though fleeting is its span,
Is not one built on fortune or on fame,
But that which serves its fellow man,
And daily lives to honor virtue's name.


It asks no recompense, nor boasts its gain,
But finds its joy in every humble chore,
A heart poured out to ease another's pain,
And daily gives, then seeks to give still more.


In gentle word, or labour strong and deep,
It spends its substance, never counting cost,
For those who falter, or who lonely weep,
A guiding light, so no one shall be lost.

Ever so thoughtful and beautifully true! .. As Our Father is pleased with those who are humble, giving, and compassionate, and true, those who do for others and do not look back for even a penny or rewarding word! ..
