Carry the card

In my wallet warm and secure
a bond with others to embrace  
no badge to wear, no grinning face  
 faith, your hearts in the right place  
  
Throw your cape 'or a puddle  
 know the pain of toil and struggle  
 cast your hat into the ring  
and help the others suffering  
   
Give of yourself while you still live  
for blood and tissue to a relative  
and humanity be the sacred book  
the cross to bear while others LOOK  
   
Depreciate your time sublime  
for god will mark your card in time  
as they nailed him to the wood  
gave his soul for the greater good  
   
As we were cast in his perfect image  
 death be the start and not the finish  
self sacrifice, I will not grimace  
the card its offering , best of meagre limits.    
   
For I heard, a higher callings need    
I proffer at my self discretion  
gift to keep, an ace hidden up your sleeve  
 no need to quote the bibles lesson.
