To enjoy the respect and love of the <br /> people you care about. <br /> <br />To know there are those whos life have been <br />enriched because of you. <br /> <br />To render kindness, especially without the <br />knowledge of others. <br /> <br />To always speak of the good in humankind. <br /> <br />To have the patience, understanding and compassion <br />of those less forturnate. <br /> <br />To forgive ones enemies is taught in the bible, <br />however, remember...to also forgive you friends, <br />family and acquaintance's. <br /> <br />To always try your utmost to improve your <br />inner self and those secret short comings <br />that only you know. <br /> <br />To never allow those your care about, <br />to become the ophans of your success. <br /> <br />To be true to yourself, others and your God. <br /> <br />If you have done these things in life, know ye well, <br />that you have indeed lived a worthwhile life <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/doing-the-right-thing-2/
