Start out by trying to be a little kinder
with the passing of each day.
To leave only happy memories
as we go along our way.
To use possessions that are ours
in service full and free.
To sacrifice the trivial things
for larger good to be.
To give of love in lavish ways
that friendship true may live
To be less quick to criticize
more ready to forgive.
To use such talents as we have
that happiness may grow.
To take the bitter with the sweet
assured it is better so.
To be quite free from self intent
whatever the task we do.
To help the world"s faith in God and right
no matter how things run.
To work and play and pray and trust
until the journeys done.
God grant to us the strength of heart
of motive and of will.
To do our past and falter not
God"s purpose to fulfill.
