~ Bird on the wind

Success is speaking words of praise

In cheering other peoples ways

In doing just the best you can

With every task and every plan.

It's silence when your speech would hurt.

Politeness when your neighbor's curt.

It's deafness when the scandal flows

And sympathy with other'a woes.

It's loyalty when duty calls

It's courage when disaster falls

It's politeness when the hours are long

It's found in laughter and in song.

It's in the silent time of prayer

In happiness and in despair 

It's all of life and nothing less

We find the thing we call success.
