Life requires so much to do,
We cannot depend on others to do.
Ability is a great life possession.
Humbly life unfolds, displays its mission.
When another needs some help
Teach them how to help themself.
When difficulties seem to overwhelm
It is time for wisdom at the helm.
Inspiration is needed to abound.
Hear the wake-up call's clear sound.
It is in the darkest night
One candles glow is so bright.
When the dangerous journey had been long
Columbus said,"Sail on, sail on."
