Carry a Torche

"Carry a Torch"


*Be true to yourself
*And as helpful as Santa's elf
*Treating all with love and
    compassion
*As love is never out of fashion
*To love thy neighbor as thyself
*Unconditional love is key
*With understanding and humility
*in and of itself 
*embracing love's tranqility
*sharing the spotlight equally
*Setting ego on the shelf
*For you need love everyone
*Not one soul may you shun
*Do not always think of self
*Carry a torch for what is
   right
*And all who do will never fight
*Time has come to ask oneself
*Do you shout and toot your
   horn
*Are you happy or forlorn 
*Be still and we shall find ourself
*When first is last and last be
    first
*Let understanding quench our 
   thirst
*There is no need to prove
   yourself
