What does it take for a life well-lived

What needs to be built

Constructed, brick upon brick

Until in the end you’ve truly made a difference

Created safety, paved the way,

Bridged a gap for others to cross

First construct yourself

By conduct kind and considerate

Then look outward

And build for others from your own joy

For happiness lies in doing, not pleasure

This is Eudaimonia, good spirit

This is a life well-lived

An offering pleasing to Heaven
