I would Be True’

I would be true for there are those who trust me:I would be pure for there are those who care:

I would be strong for there is much to suffer:

I would be brave for there is much to dare:

I would be friend to all, the foe, the friendless:

I would be giving and for the gift:

I would be humble for I know my weakness:

I would look up and laugh, and love and lift.
