ALL YOU CAN BE

There are many things...

Be the bell that rings out truth

Be a light that shines its ray

Into corners dark and deep

Be a voice that cries the way.

 

Be a wind that clears the mist

Be the fire that burns for right,

Rain that cleanses; snow that calms.

Be the sun which conquers night.

Thank you. The word "inspirational" didn't occur to me, until this got reviewed.
