To have lived well Laughed often and loved much; To have gained the respect Of intelligent men And the love of children; To have filled a niche And accomplished a task; To have left the world better – Whether by an improved poppy, A perfect poem or a rescued soul; To have appreciated earth’s beauty And not failed to express it; To have looked for the best in others, And to have given the best of yourself.
