I try to go gently in the world…

What principles define how you live?

I try to go gently in the world

And not to give offence.

To not be inconsiderate

See others points of view.


I’m conscious that I’ve made mistakes

And others will as well

So I try hard to be tolerant

But know I often fail.



I hope I am not boastful

And avoid the sin of pride

I hope that’s am thoughtful

And try to do what‘s right.


I won’t be quick to anger

Or easily take offence

Settle quarrels quickly

Lest you feed a grudge.
