"Life"

To the preacher, life’s a sermon,
To the joker, life’s a jest,
To the miser, life is money,
To the loafer, life’s a rest.

To the soldier, life’s a battle,
To the teacher, life’s a school.
Life’s a great thing for the thinker,
But it’s folly to the fool.

“Life is just one long vacation,
To the man who loves his work,
But it’s constant dodging duty
To the everlasting shirk.

“To the faithful, earnest worker
Life’s a story ever new;
Life is what we try to make it —
What in truth is life to you?—Author Unknown
