To laugh away, things when go wobbly wrong,
To welcome all the same— win or defeat,
Life devoted to make a child's smile sweet,
That she sings all life a melodious song.
To fetch forward life's inner most beauty,
To coax rainbows of life longer to last,
To sway not from avowed path of duty,
And leave behind the legacy so cast.
To appreciate seeing an honest act,
To forgive betrayal's fraudulent hand,
Spend patient time that a foe turns to friend,
A life that has with Death a secret pact,
It is when world knows you lived and lived well,
Even your grave giveth when fragrant smell.
