Life that is full of hope <br /> Has many of God's folk, <br /> Life that is full of troubles, <br /> May be fraught with transient bubbles. <br /> <br /> It needs God's support, <br /> To sustain and covet, <br /> In a world where materialism is rampant, <br /> And the Golden Rule is seldom used; <br /> And where man is much abused. <br /> <br /> Man is put on earth <br /> With a purpose in his divine birth; <br /> To help his fellowman; <br /> To share his burden as best he can.<br /><br />Dr. Elbert R.
