Carry a Torche

"Carry a Torch" *Be true to yourself *And as helpful as Santa's elf *Treating all with love and     compassion *As love is never out of fashion *To love thy neighbor as thyself *Unconditional love is key *With understanding and humility *in and of itself  *embracing love's tranqility *sharing the spotlight equally *Setting ego on the shelf *For you need love everyone *Not one soul may you shun *Do not always think of self *Carry a torch for what is    right *And all who do will never fight *Time has come to ask oneself *Do you shout and toot your    horn *Are you happy or forlorn  *Be still and we shall find ourself *When first is last and last be     first *Let understanding quench our     thirst *There is no need to prove    yourself MamaD
