The Extra Mile

I will do more than belong - I will participate.
I will do more than care- I will help.
I will do more than believe- I will practice.
I will do more than be fair- I will be kind.
I will do more than forgive- I will forget.
I will do more than dream- I will work.
I will do more than teach- I will inspire.
I will do more than earn- I will enrich.
I will do more than give- I will serve.
I will do more than live- I will grow.
I will do more than suffer- I will triumph.
- Williams Arthur Ward
