To laugh often and love much: To win respect of intelligent people And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give one's self; To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child, A garden patch, Or redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm And sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier Because you have lived...To eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, cry when I'm sad, laugh when I'm happy, and never let a day go by without letting those I care for, know how much I love and appreciate them.
