A Timely Lift
The golden rule, to any fool
Is not a silly test
To shine the light
Of truth and right
Is worthy of our best
The earth and sky, may signify
The beauty in our soul
The mountain peak
That people seek
Is worthy of our goal
But what if we, are happily
The spirits we renew
The ones who pray
Along the way
For strength in what we do
To magnify, the reason why
We chose a hallowed birth
We must be true
And worthy too
To share a place on Earth
The spoken lie, or alibi
For hurting one another
Will not increase
A goodly peace
Or win a faithful brother
To feed the heart, we must impart
A monumental shift
In how we live
And how we give
The world a timely lift.
