SUCCESS - by Clarence Thomas Urmy

SUCCESS by  Clarence Thomas Urmy Not what we have, but what we use; Not what we see, but what we choose - These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness. The things near by, not things afar, Not what we seem, but what we are - These are the things that make or break, That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do - These are the things that shine like gems, Like stars in fortune's diadems. Not as we take, but as we give, Not as we pray, but as we live - These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after Time shall cease.
