Let's not try to make
a case for truth
it needs no recognition
nor proclamation-
in our declaration
we would fall into
grievous mistake--

let us in our poverty
of understanding step away
from its sacred gate
let's work on the daily practical
the mundane, the banal
the routine from which we can't escape

yet comfort, joy and satisfaction
there is-- in tasks honest
simple and menial
engaged with devotion
for love and duty's sake
in every ounce of our endeavour
meaning and purpose
we proudly create

truth though hidden
in its overseeing eyes
might glance our way
and in generosity say:
your humility
and simplicity
moves my heart-
a friend I will be
let us come together
as a family
let us with one heart
love and celebrate.
