Benediction

Bless the Lord along life’s road. Bear your neighbor’s heavy load. Bicker not with blame nor fault. Blaze the trail with light and salt. Battle vice with peace and grace. Bring Christ’s virtue to the race. Bless the Lord and you’ll be blessed.

thanks, wiishkobe, it is a sort of Pleiades form, but I used 7 syllable lines instead of 6.
