A favor is that kindly deed
Beyond a friendly smile
That comforts someone else on earth
And makes this life worthwhile.
It may involve a fortune or
The fraction of a cent
Or just some little effort that
Is generously spent.
We may be asked to do it or
The thought may be our own.
In any case it is the way
Our charity is shown.
It is a little sacrifice
That we are glad to make
To brighten up the sky a bit
For someone else's sake.
And often we consider it
A privilege to extend
Because there is no greater deed
Than helping out a friend.
