Aunt Clara, When I close my eyes I see your face and hear your voice, I feel your strength, and feel my weakness, but know that you will live on in my life forever...you carry me through those hard times that I face and remind me that those moments will pass and make me a stonger person. This poem is one of my favorites and reminds me of you. SUCCESS by Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, To find the best in others, To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
