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
