The Inevitable Path
There is a path all must take-
exalted queens to lowly maids-
rich and poor-
cabbages and kings.
It is the path through life-
from birth to death that all must trod-
and strive our best to make the best
of the lot we have been given.
To leave-
this world a better place-
than when we entered in-
and for our progeny an honorable legacy.
Not necessarily riches or fame,
though these can be honorable,
if neither coveted nor pursued obsessively,
but Christian ethics-
including love, hope and charity-
and empathy for all of God’s creations
great and small
