Late to bed early to rise
Work like hell and advertise.
Tell the truth and refuse to lie
Be all you can be beneath God’s sky.
Love your family and strive to achieve
Triumph by goodness and how you believe.
Heed to the whispers of God in your heart
Retain integrity and from foulness depart.
Let voices proclaim after you have gone
Your love for others still lives on.
Real success comes by who you actually are
Not by trinkets, a big house or car.
Your on our own but not alone
As the deeds of your lifetime are sown.
Love, fear, lust, greed, faith and hate
Are how you are measured and known.
