That Man Is A Success Who has lived well laughed often and loved much; Who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children ; who had filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who leaves the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy or a perfect poem or a rescued soul; Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it Who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. |
This poem was written by Jason Coker, one of twin brothers murdered on Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21st 1988. The poem was written in honour of his father's 43rd birthday. |
