Plenty Given and Forgiven In the Divine Realm
Stand for your beliefs
Despite tribulations and blues
Worry not about physical, psychological or metabolic reliefs
But defend to the hilt the values
Defining, refining and buttressing your personality and character
From infancy to adulthood
Where values and beliefs are a factor
In enhancing the attitude, habitude and altitude
You deserve and preserve in the rat race
Characterised by confusion, contusion, corruption, compromise
That deface, efface, demean, displace, denigrate the value and belief face
For the sake of access to a temporary prize
Fleeting in value and bleating in worth
Glittering in the short term, debilitating in the long term
That snatches, scratches, slashes and slays the ultimate berth and mirth
You deserve to stand firm, confirm and reconfirm
The cardinal role values and beliefs play
In leading your life to the destination
Meant for you without undue delay
As you march determinedly to the station
Destined to reward principle
Perseverance , persistence and sagacity
As the pupil and disciple whose scruples quadruple
In worth when you galumph in triumph to your salvation city
To earn at the end of your race the reward
For which you’ve striven
Despite suffering stabs from pricks of a compromise sword
Cos in God’s eyes plenty you’ve given and plenty you’re forgiven.
