Beliefs - May 25th, 2006 at 10:43 AM
There are those who like to criticize
Strong beliefs that others keep;
When they choose to show their faith
They are labelled as mere sheep.
What a wonderful world we live in,
With free agency to choose;
That's a sweet and precious privilege
That I would never want to lose.
Though our beliefs may be quite different,
May we not be filled with pride
So intense and unforgiving,
That it creates a a chasm wide.
Respect should be our watch word,
For each sister and each brother,
For until we learn this lesson
We'll not have peace with one another.
