Who has lived well, laughed often
and loved much;
Who has gained the respect
of intelligent people
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 he had.
