I Must Not Be Selfish.

By H. P. Nichols

When I play with little children I must very gentle be; I must always do to others As I'd have them do to me. I must like to give and lend them, If they want my prettiest toy; More than my delight and pleasure I must love my playmate's joy. Children who are kind and loving God above is pleased to see; Let me ever this remember, Ever sweet and pleasant be.
