    My Creed
    
      
    
      
    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 love, and laugh and lift.
