Success

Who has achieved success who has lived well,

cared often and smiled much;

who has gained the love of affectionate teachers

and survived the agony of lost relationships;

who has filled their nook and achieved their goals;

who has left the world stronger than before

whether by showing attention, a kind act, or has protected others;

who has never lacked appreciation for one’s beauty

or failed to love it;

who has always overlooked the worst in others

and given them the love they needed;

whose story was an inspiration;

whose life was precious.
