Achiever
Bessie Anderson Stanley
He has achieved achiever
who has lived advantageously,
laughed often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the belief of pure women,
the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his chore;
who has left the class better than he found it
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem, or a rescued feeling;
who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty
or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best in others
and given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
Perhaps its time to dust off a dream.
