Revere God; raise your voice.
Make daily praise your choice.
Through deeds, show loved ones care.
Of friends’ needs, be aware.
Help those with less than you;
good deeds will bless you too.
To self be true, I’ve heard*.
Set free your dreams deferred.**
*“To thine own self be true” from Shakespeare’s Hamlet: Act I, Scene 3,
Polonius speaking
**reference to “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes (“What happens to a
dream deferred?”)
