Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight of his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?" - The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou.  "Nay, not so,"
Replied the angel.  Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still; and said, "I pray thee then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow-men."
The angel wrote, and vanished.  The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names who love of God had blessed,
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

-- Leigh Hunt
Hope is like a bird that senses the dawn and carefully
starts to sing while it is still dark.  -- Author Unknown
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.  -- Aesop
