The Creed of a Humanist
(My 12 Rules of Living)

I might be down, but will not despair

I might be bruised, but will bear

I might fear but will stay

I might fail, but effort I will redouble.

I might suffer, but will not be bitter

I might be alone, but will love being my own

I might be forsaken but will not be broken

I might weep but only in silence

I might be bewildered but will not count it loss

I might be misunderstood but no ill-being will I harbour

I might not be loved but will live not in hate

I might be dying but still the last moment I will be savouring
