Moral Creed
Thriving midst rules of responsible freedom choice
I’m grateful for laws that set my faith to rejoice…
As a child, I heard: “no! don’t,” silencing my shouts
Imparting the need to comply against will’s bouts…
Maturing, I’ve gone through right conduct-exposure
Along good moral values and ethics’ pressure…
Today, my heart enjoys life, propped by virtues’ brace
Loving God and others* as myself --- with His grace.
*Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
