Not how did he die? But how did he live? Not what did he gain? But what did he give? These are the units to measure the worth Of this man as man regardless of birth. Not what was his station? But had he a heart? How did he play his God-given part? Was he at hand with a word of good cheer To bring back a smile or banish a fear? Not what was his church or what was his creed? But had he befriended those really in need? Not how did the formal obituary run? But how many grieved when his life's work was done?
