My creed.

I would be true, for there are those who trust me;

I would be pure, for there are those who care;

I would be strong- for there is much to suffer;

I would be brave, for there is much to dare.

I would be friend of all- the foe, the friendless;

I would be giving, and forget the gift.

I would be humble, for I know my weakness;

I would look up- and laugh- and love- and lift.
