Led By Heart, Soul, and Mind

"All we have to decide is what to do 
  with the time that is given us."
   -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring 

"All we have to decide is what to do
with the time that is given us."
Living each day the best that we can-
never leaving our stay nonplus.

Hearts often steer the direction of paths
steadied by the rays from the soul,
using the time for both service and fun
forming purpose to meet a goal.

Bound by keen minds protecting our stay
molded well by the soul and heart -
time gifted us will sparkle and shine
with fulfillment right from the start.
