Glory and Splendor

Bring it forth in all you do
Little matters more than happiness
For hearts should not whither as people walk away
They are fickle and some are faithless

God is nearer to those who live with courage
Brevity is what we lack in the world
To put it all on the line for your neighbor
To walk the good road unhurled

Further and nearer from the one's we love
Taken by the mirror of self
Soul searching sessions with our brothers
Ignorance will not bring you wealth

Give more than you get
Take not all that is at your feet
Find the good in others first
From this challenge one cannot retreat

Growth comes at the most inappropriate times
Yes... agreed now our hearts can change
One cannot in this way remain
Find your highest note and turn the page
