Human of Value

To be a human of value is better than to be one of success For quality of value is worthwhile and desirable in purpose of being In human value men have earned sainthood For the finest human value is but food In success humans have earned pride and emptiness On the road of life human value is what gives meaning to the walk First say to yourself what you would be And then do what you have to do to be For life is either a daring adventure or nothing Govern your life and thoughts and read the other Life is a tragedy for those who feel Then roll their lives on a reel And a comedy for those who think Live life to the fullest in value To be successful to the world you are but one person For character develops itself in the stream of life of reason To be a person of human value are but the world to the entire humanity
