"The call is clear and simple
'Love God and humankind',
But love demands much wisdom
And clarity of mind.
'Be wily as a serpent,
though gentle as a dove',
For many are the dangers
upon the path of love.
O wise and holy Lover,
Teach us as seasons turn
To know ourselves and others
Deep, honest love to learn.
So may we nurture living
In all we say and do,
In strong and gentle giving
To humankind and you."
