The Best Memory System

"The Best Memory System"

Forget each kindness that you do
As soon as you have done it;
Forget the praise that falls on you
The moment you have done it;
Forget the slander that you hear
Before you can repeat it,
Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer
Whenever you may meet it.

Remember every kindness done
To you, whatever 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'll find through age and youth,
True joy, and hearts to love you.
