Instilled.

In faith, do swear and open ear

or feign to listen still.

For truth be told as ought to hear

and words profaned, instill.

May honesty and loyalty

be granted and received.

Twice gifted then with dignity

and friendship not deceived.

With trust in man and mystery,

though will is quite your own,

choose well your friends; no enemies;

and kindness always show.

Be gentle and forgiveness grant

yourself and those who wrong.

Lonely those who find they can't

for meekness makes you strong.

Be sure to laugh eternally,

and hold your mem'ries dear.

Take care to learn from tragedy

and cherish every tear.

Each breath is blessed, each smile a joy,

each heartbeat heaven-sent.

And all the world to be enjoyed

until our minutes spent.
