Success

Success

To laugh often and much

To win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children

To earn appreciation of honest friends 

and endure the betrayal  of false friends,

appreciate beauty

To find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better

Whether by a healthy child

Or a garden patch

or a redeemed social condition 

To even know one life has breathed easier

because you lived

This is to have succeeded!

Ralph Waldo Emerson -
