ALL THAT GLITTERS is NOT GOLD

Come, let us reason together thus
said the Lord;
For all things on Earth must with rea-
son accord;
And when we act rational with things
that are old,
The glittering things now do not al
ways seem Gold.
Little do we know of the Ethereal
Blue,
or the Clouds and the Light, or the
glittering Dew;
And of Life very little to us has been
told:
But we know that Life is far greater
than Gold.
So. Life we must have in abundance,
and long,
To partake of the good things that to
Life do belong;
But, we must not wander away from
the Fold.
Bur always remember the true glitter
Of Gold.
And to our Neighbor be true less
envy and strife;
Never think of Revenge, as that de-
stroys Life.
Judge not your Neighbor, that we
have been told,
For all things that glitter are not
always the Gold
Let us have Charity, the greater virtue
of all;
We will always be smiling. and our
neighbors faults be small;
And, it is becoming to both young and
!. old.
For the beauty of Charity is greater
than Gold.
This is my Philosophy: think what
you may;
But heed by injunction, for that do
pray:
Lei reason guide you, and be kind in
your soul.
And your Journey in life will be fairer
than Gold.
