POETRY FOR THE WISE ..(DAILY POETRY)

I JUST HAVE THREE INTERESTING POETRY TO SHARE FOR TODAY

1.           TO LAUGH OFTEN AND LOVE MUCH; 
               TO WIN THE RESPECT OF INTELLIGENT
                PERSONS AND THE AFFECTION 
               OF CHILDREN
                TO EARN THE APPROVAL OF HONEST
                CRITICS 
   

AND ENDURE THE BETRAYAL OF FALSE FRIENDS
TO APPRECIATE BEAUTY
TO FIND THE BEST IN OTHERS
TO GIVE OF ONE'S SELF WITHOUT THE
SLIGHTEST THOUGHT OF RETURN;
TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A TASK WHETHER
A HEALTHY CHILD ,A RESCUED SOUL,
A GARDEN PATCH, OR A REDEEMED SOCIAL. CONDITION
TO HAVE PLAYED AND LAUGHED WITH
ENTHUSIASM AND SUNG WITH EXALTATION ;
TO KNOW THAT EVEN ONE LIFE HAS BREATHED
EASIER BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED;
THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED.

1. I've drunk to your
     Health in taverns,
     I've drunk to your
     Health in my home 
      I've drunk to your 
     Health so damn 
        Many times 
    That I've almost 
   

   Ruined my own!

1. He slept beneath the moon
   He basked beneath the sun
   He lived a life of going to do
   And died with nothing done
