Classic and Contemporary Poetry

MY CREED by HOWARD ARNOLD WALTER

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.
