What can sneak up on us
An unexpected fate
An annoyance that will overcome
If we don't watch our way
It festers in the spirit
It damages the sole

But, With such a wide, expansive world
There is so much to behold

Reach for a higher purpose
Aim for greater marks
Find beauty in the wild world
Let nature fill the heart

Center on a mission
To learn a useful skill
Thrive for true ambition
Focusing true will

Find friends at every arduous turn
The Almighty surely guides

When heeding,
we shall do quite well
As long as we adhere
Just listen for the glory
Just hearken to the creed
Improve the world around us all
& do a noble deed
