Pause and Reflect

Mistrust no one without a cause Nor trust someone without proof, Before you do follow someone—pause, Find shelter before storm hits the roof Perform your duty without applause Stand not in a party aloof. Every road you take leads somewhere Every load lightens at some place, There is a sure mend to every tear Solution to many a tangled case, There is love to give and woe to share and troubled souls to embrace.
