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.
