A Life That's Grand

It's little things that soon add up
to make a life that's grand
Like a smiling face, a loving heart
a firm and helpful hand.

But I've figured out and want to share
that most essential thing
that sets the tone for a life that shines
and starts a heart to sing

There's love, respect, and honesty
just to name a few
and commitment and dedication
in everything you do.

Yes, all of the important things
have foundations deep inside
and of these each is surely built
on an attitude of pride
