Be Sincere
- a Poem
- by Crystal David John
All candles tall and short,
Whether stout or very slim,
Do but always impart
Light, which is never ever dim.
Watch the roses grow,
They don’t mind the thorns.
Seen the lotus glow
Ne’er the slush it scorns.
So too must we shine
In our own little way,
For in God’s own time
Our actions will repay.
Ne’er be disheartened,
If your contributions seem small
As burdens are lightened,
By the sincere efforts of all!
