Memory Is Not Enough
M-emory is not enough,
A-ll lessons that you receive
R-emain to be seen in action,
I-n good result to achieve.
T-he memory is not enough,
E-arly fourteenth of July;
S-ee to it that the order of God is obeyed neath the sky.
P-ure listening to the truth
I-s only to know and understand;
L-et your own life live
A-ccording to God's command.
P-erfectly complying with the law
I-s probably hard or tough;
L-ove though will do, memory is not enough.
