THAT MAN IS A SUCCESS . . .
Who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much
Who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of children
Who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task
Who leaves the world better than he found
it-whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem or a rescued
soul. Who never lacked appreciation
of earth's beauty or failed to express it
Who looked for the best in others and
gave the best that he had.
