MY CREED, by                    
First Line: I would be true, for there are those who trust me
Last Line: I would look up, and love, and laugh and lift.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


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.
