[WHO IS A LION?]

He who achieves success, lives well,
laughs often, loves all human kind,
gains the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children;

he fills his niche, does well his work,
and makes God¡¯s world a better place than it was
by just a brighter flower, a perfect poem,
a human soul awake to its own loveliness;

he feels the glow of beauty in all life,
and never fails to voice his praise of it;
he sees the best there is in fellow men,
and gives to them the best there is in him;
his life is one vast inspiration.

THAT MAN IS A LION!
