Success

He has achieved success who has lived well,
laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women,
the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's
beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and
given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.

Bessie A. Stanley - 1905
