STRONG AND VITAL

 

The most precious virtue?

Wholesome thought.

The greatest gain?

A gift to another.

What is pain?

A tormented conscience.

Is hatred a violent fever?

To be cooled

In a pool of kindness

Once passed to others

A good deed lives

The man lives

His house will burn

Eventually, rainy day dreams away

And all that is left

Is your virtue

Your most precious treasure

That love inside

Too great to measure

In birthdays and subsequent events

To envy, to ride astride

A horse of many colors

A winner as he crosses

The final finish line

            A flag

            A bronze star

            A platinum account

            A castle in the sky

            Worthwhile knowledge

            Passed on by example

            Living out life

            Long into the distant ideal

            A hundred and going strong and vital
