The Anchor

All I know and hold dear; Norms, values, ideals and beliefs; Community, family and friends; Hold me securely On a firm foundation, Regardless of how the winds blow.   Ah let the waves rock me; Numerous conflicting opinions; Contradictions and paradoxes; Honest differences Over all that life brings Reasoning that defies logic.   An anchor

TWO WAYS

Two ways to live; Two ways to go; Which will you choose? How will you know Which one brings life; The one that’s right? One is darkness; The other light.   Clear is the way Of love and peace; Honor, respect, Freedom’s release. Will you choose this In all you do? Will you speak life;

RESPECT

Regard those around you with honor; Expressing appreciation for who they are; See to it that you never speak poorly of them; Promote the best things about all people; Expecting that most will do the same for you. Care about what others think and have to say; Tell positive stories,  rehearsing excellence in all things.
