Sorry, I do not remember that poem, but it is a constant creed for myself, life of no regrets; I know it is used in many areas of spiritual guidance ... I remember the song My living will not be in vain , follows the same idea. I will scan through my poetry collections.

Through this toilsome world, alas,
Once and only once I pass,
If a good deed I may do,
If a kindness I may show
To a suffering fellow man,
Let me do it while I can,
No delay for it is plain
I shall not pass this way again.

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
