What is a Lion? They are those people who achieve success, life well, laugh often, they love all human kind, gain the respect people, and they love little children. They fill their niche, do well their work, and make God's world a better place than it was by just a brighter flower, a perfect poem, a human soul awake to it's own loveliness. They feel the glow of beauty, an never fail to voice their praise of it. They see the best there is in others, and give it to them the best there is in them. Their life is one vast inspiration- Yes, these people are "WE SERVE" Lions who dedicated their enthusiasm, commitment, talents, and time to helping others."
