A Simple Life Plan

I will try
I will hope
I will live life fully

I wish to do no wrong
As I pursue a life filled with variety
Helping others as best as I can

I pledge to uphold values 
That strengthen our fraternity
And remember 
All those who supported me

I want to be remembered as
A man who lived a life most enjoyable
Laughing and smiling everywhere I went

I will try to promote the doing of good
With a sensitivity 
Partial to human variety

I wish to use my talents
To enrich those who surround me
Seeking out those who stumble 
With the weight of living

I want to be remembered as 
One who made mistakes
But who did no wrong intentionally

I may not achieve all I wish for
But I will thank god profusely
For all I know I am and can be
