  If you sit down at set of sun And count the acts that you have done, And, counting, find One self-denying deed, one word That eased the heart of him who heard,  One glance most kind That fell like sunshine where it went -- Then you may count that day well spent. But if, through all the livelong day, You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay -- If, through it all You've nothing done that you can trace That brought the sunshine to one face-- No act most small That helped some soul and nothing cost -- Then count that day as worse than lost. 

 

  River Road. Song written and made popular by Sylvia Tyson. Native of Chatham Ontario. There was an actual River Road. Due west of Chatham alongside the Thames River to Tilbury, Jeannette’s Creek and Lighthouse Cove. Great Fish Restaurant and War of 1812 history. TheTysons made a vigorous early pitch to CBC television for the talent of Gordon Lightfoot. CBC people were producing a Centennial Special broadcast, 1967. Lightfoot auditioned with his Railroad Trilogy song. Off the cuff in a producer’s office. Bingo for the step upward.

  And then a different sort of comedy…Martin and Short.

  What a heartwarming and vividly written poem! Reading about your memories of Shirley Lyons was a delight, and I really appreciated how you painted her as such a kind and considerate neighbor. It's clear that her presence had a positive impact on your life, and that speaks volumes about the kind of person she was. I particularly enjoyed the story about you and your dad re-shingling the garage - the way Shirley never made you feel self-conscious despite your less-than-stylish outfits shows just how warm and accepting she was.

As for improvement suggestions, one thing that could maybe enhance the poem would be to explore in a bit more detail how Shirley impacted your life specifically. What did she do that was particularly memorable or special? Was there a specif
