“TO HAVE SUCCEEDED”
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends:
To appreciate beauty;:
To find the best in others;
To give one’s self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exhultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived….
This is to have succeeded.
Have a great day!
