                                   Make Worms Thy Heir

                                 Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 6

Let us speak of the utility of worms
There is much in them, including our ancestors
But without them we might not live at all
They enrich the earth, even with our earth

All children are our heirs; in them we live
They are God’s treasures, and we must treasure them
After the Order of Saint Joseph, and when we pass
Our children will say that God is passing by

Let us praise the nobility of worms
Reminding us that we are glorious dust
