Justafort!

Justa fort 2001 (Nuneaton)



If you can rest at end of day
And one good deed or thought relay
Just a kindly phrase you chose
To ease another's cares and woes
 A word that lifts a soul from sorrow
Try to do that twice tomorrow

But if at night you cannot find
A single deed or thought so kind
No pleasant word or sweet riposte
 you may count that day, as lost!
