Thought of the Week (On New Years)
"If I were asked to say a perfect prayer,
No fluent phrases would my lips employ,
No flourishes of speech would I prepare
For only those of learning to enjoy.
With simple verbal drapery I'd make
A prayer that everyone could understand.
Were I to make a perfect prayer designed
To rid the world of selfishness and greed,
With books of lore I would not tax my mind
For these two simple lines would fill my need:
'Renew, O God within the hearts of men
The Golden Rule, and give it life again.'" (Anon)
