Here's another gem from Edgar A. Guest. It's
entitled "The Making of Friends." "If nobody
smiled and nobody cheered and nobody helped us
along, If each every minute looked after himself
and good things all went to the strong, If nobody
cared just a little for you, and nobody thought
about me, And we stood all alone to the battle of
life, what a dreary old world it would be! If there
were not such a thing as a flag in the sky as a
symbol of comradeship here, If we lived as the
animals live in the woods, with nothing held
sacred or dear, And selfishness ruled us from
birth to the end, and never a neighbor had we, And
never we gave to another in need, what a dreary
old world it would be! Oh, if we were rich as the
richest on earth and strong as the strongest that
lives Yet never we knew the delight and the charm
of the smile which the other man gives, If kindness
were never a part of ourselves, though we owned
all the land we could see, And friendship meant
nothing at all to us here, what a dreary old world it
would be! Life is sweet just because of the friends
we have made and the things which in common we
share; We want toliveon not because of ourselves,
but because of the people who care: It's giving and
doing for somebody else-on that all life's splendor
depends. And the joy of this world, when you've
summed it all up, is found in the making of
friends."
The nurses at Starr County Memorial Hospital

party and corsage received by each was just a
small way of thanking them for their service
