Worth
By Latia Mitchell Thornton
If I shall plant a tree
To serve the traveler in the days to be;
Though I shall nothing gain
I’m richer that I have not lived in vain.
If I shall till a field
That gives for hungry men its fragrant yield,
Lifted above the sod
It shall bear witness for me, unto God.
If I shall grow one flower
That cheers another in a lonely hour,
And makes a better earth,
I shall have proven that my life had worth.
(1935)
