Make Life a Little Sweeter

O let me shed a little light

On someone else's path I pray;

I'd like to be a messenger

Of happiness today!

It may be just a phone call,

A smile, or a prayer,

Or long neglected letter

Would lift the edge of care.

I want to spread some happiness

In what I say or do,

Make life a little sweeter

For someone else! Don't you?
