<blockquote>Softly falls the light of day,<br />
While our campfire fades away,<br />
Silently each Cub should ask,<br />
Have I done my daily task?<br />
For my country done my best?<br />
Prayed to God before I rest?<br />
Helped a friend along the way?<br />
Have I done my best today?<br /></blockquote>
