Make the World a Better Place

When will we take seriously The Golden Rule, Treating others as we would like to be treated, Establishing good moral foundations in schools Working to see injustice and prejudice defeated? Championing zero tolerance for bullying behavior And recognizing the worth of all individual souls, Especially honoring the rewards of diligent labor And recognizing a Higher Power is at the controls. A few simple basics make the world a better place Each within reach of our own personal potentiality, Each recognizing the power of fortitude and grace While developing hearts of kindness and sensibility.

Wisely written in an informative Quatrain, Milt. Nice rhythm and flow. Bill

That's all what most people want Milton but sadly there are many out there hellbent on creating chaos. Hope your op went OK. Tom

It was put off until this coming Wednesday, Tom. I met with the surgeon this morning. He had some concerns about other issues, but together we decided it was worth it.
