GIVE ME WIDE WALLS TO BUILD MY HOUSE OF LIFE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: GIVE ME WIDE WALLS TO BUILD MY HOUSE OF LIFE
Last Line: GIVE ME WIDE WALLS TO BUILD MY HOUSE OF LIFE

Give me wide walls to build my house of Life --
The North shall be of Love, against the winds of fate;
The South of Tolerance, that I may outreach hate;
The East of Faith, that rises clear and new each day;
The West of Hope, that e'en dies a glorious way.
The threshold 'neath my feet shall be Humility;
The roof -- the very sky itself -- Infinity.
Give me wide walls to build my house of Life.
