Growing wisdom
Understanding
Tenderness and seeing sides;

Soul-fulfilling
Heartfelt healing
Listening and open mind;

Encouragement
Appreciation
Caring, daring to confide;

Strength enduring
True protection
Softer hearts and wider minds;

Hope believing
All forgiving
Consolation, gentle guide.

Hold the torchlight
Higher, brighter
Never-ending flame, abide!
