This isn't really poetry, and I don't know where it came from, but it's just a very good quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, it's on a poster on my wall. I ought to make a new tag called "Quotes" at some point.
"To laugh often and much;
"To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
"To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure betrayal of false friends;
"To appreciate beauty;
"To find the best in others;
"To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child or a garden patch;
"To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
"This is to be a success."
