Life is a gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away,
It isn’t a thing to be stored in the chest

Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of

Wear it and use it as much as you may,
Don’t keep it in niches and corners and grooves,
You’ll find that in service its beauty improves.
