A Modest Mantra

Love gently, love forever,
that you may be truly alone never.

Stand firm, stand for something, stand true,
that the one falling should never be you.

Fight strong, fight as one who defends,
that you may never lose your friends.

Live as yourself, live with virtue nigh,
that you may, in legacy, never die.
