To Be

To say less
I must say more

To get to the bottom
I must reach the core

To stay on top
Depends on favor

And it comes from
Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior

To understand I must listen
With open ears and a still mind

This will enable me to be the best listener
One can find

To be a friend
I can’t be judgmental

I can express myself
But my words must be gentle

And to have a good laugh
Something must be funny

That makes me bend over
And hold my tummy
