In doing just the best you can

With every task and every plan.

Its silence when your speech would hurt

Politeness when your neighbor’s curt.

It’s deafness when scandal flows,

And sympathy with other’s woes.

Its loyalty when duty calls,

Its courage when disaster falls.

Its found in laughter and in song.

Its in the silent time of prayer,

In happiness and in despair.

In all of life and nothing less,

We find the thing we call success.
