YOUR TASK |
Your task,
To build a better world said God.
I answered: "How?"
The world is such a large vast place
So complicated now,
And I so small and useless am,
There's nothing I can do.
But God in his great wisdom said:
"Just build a better you".

THE SPIRE OF MY CHURCH |
The spire of my church
Though unseen reaches the stars.
Its foundation rests firm in earth's keep.
Its creed is as big and as broad as the sky
That encircles the earth in its sweep.
It's brethren are those who inhabit the earth
Mankind, the great and the small;
The sons of Muhammad, the Rabbi, the Priest,
This cathedral has room for us all.
God speaks to me in the stir of a leaf,
In the glorious song of a bird
And my pew is a log or a mountain crag
Wherever his voice is heard.
