To Dear Innocent, I dedicate this poem, to you, for everything you achieved on earth. A Successful Man (by Bessie Anderson Stanley.) That man is a success- who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men, and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty, or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others, and gave the best he had.
