“Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.”

The earth beneath you is pure,
Dark and mysterious, but wholly untainted.
The small shrub blooming from the soil is callow,
Young and fertile, and growing strong.
The earth teaches us how to behave.
We should be pure and innocent,
Strong and productive.

The heavens above you are shining.
Mighty creator of the stars,
Confident and honorable.
The stars glow as a thousand suns,
Lighting up the darkness and forming patterns.
We should be as stars,
Creation guiding others, helping,
Teaching what is to be learned of the Lord.

Be gracious. Be humble. Be noble.
Be earth. Be stars.
