THE
BEST MEMORY SYSTEM
Forget the kindness
that you do,
As soon as you have done it;
Forget the praise that falls on you,
The moment you have won it.
Forget the slander
that you hear,
Before you can repeat it;
Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer,
Wherever you may meet it.
Remember every kindness
done,
To you, whate'er its measure;
Remember praise by others won.
And pass it on with pleasure.
Remember
every promise made,
And keep it to the letter;
Remember those who lend you aid,
And be a grateful debtor.
Remember
all the happiness
That comes your way in living;
Forget each worry and distress,
Be hopeful and forgiving.
Remember
good, remember truth,
Remember heaven's above you.
And you will find through age and youth
True joy and hearts to love you.
