Simplicity

To add to the joy of another
Means it is well with your soul to share

To subtract from one's fears
Is to lay transparent their inner strength

To multiply blessings
Means we're honest, humorous students and teachers

To divide any burden
Is to dissolve the foe, and awaken the friend in us.
