A good life

Our lives are long, and the journeys not set

Each step, each moment, without life's regret?

In moments of weakness our choices must be

Well considered, well judged, without guarantee?

In times of great hardship hearts must reflect

Loves heartbreak, loves lost, without disrespect? 

In our most joyous times we all must rejoice

Good times,  good people, without a strong voice?

In the time of our dotage, our message to all

Be helpful, be watchful, embracing  nightfall. 

In the time of our Lord, forgiveness without price.

Love of man, love of scripture, without sacrifice?
