As I stumble through this life, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than despair. Never let me become so indifferent that I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child, or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.

Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people, make them happy and forget, at least for a moment, all the unpleasantness in their lives. And in my final moment may I hear you whisper, "When you made my people smile, you made me shine."
