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. | |
