THE LAW OF KARMA, by                    
First Line: I go about my tasks today
Last Line: We feed our hungry soul.
Subject(s): Fate; Destiny


I go about my tasks today
With friendly thoughts to all,
For they like me are mortal clay,
When tempted, sometimes fall.
I feel with them their weariness
Of trying days so long,
And share with them their joyfulness,
Fair play and lilting song.

I know as they the stinging pain
That comes from aching hearts,
Of seeming loss or measured gain
Which Providence imparts.
We are each one a part of all,
And all as one a whole.
So when we heed our brother's call,
We feed our hungry soul.
