To laugh often and 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 of one's self
To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child
A garden patch or a redeemed social condition
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
Sung with exultation
To know even one life has breathed easier because you
Have lived -
This is to have succeeded
