That woman is a success

In trying to figure out what Hallmark card my friend Julie keeps nearby, I discovered the following beautiful poems...

That woman is a success

who loves life
and lives it to the fullest;

who has discovered and shared
the strengths and talents
that are uniquely her own;

who puts her best into each task
and leaves each situation
better than she found it;

who seeks and finds
that which is beautiful
in all people and all things;

whose heart is full of love
and warm with compassion;

who has found joy in living
and peace within herself.

~ Barbara J. Burrow ~

That woman is a success
who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect
of intelligent people
and the love of children;
who has filled their niche
and accomplished their task;
who leaves the world better
than they 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 they had.
