Made In the Shade
Some people are driven to succeed
In their chosen fields of endeavour
To me, success is measured
By a happy home life
And the number of friends one accumulates
Through the years
Quality of life is all important
Not the number of cars in our driveway
Not the amount of dollars in our bank account
Friends are a true gauge of our success
Lifelong friends are like pure gold
A treasure that is unmeasurable
Add that to a happy family life
And you have it made in the shade
