MORALS AND IDEALS
In this world of casual carelessness its discouraging to try to keep our morals and standards and our ideals high;
we are ridiculed and laughed at by the smart sophisticate who proclaims in brittle banter that such things are out of date.
But no life is worth the living unless its built on truth and we lay our life’s foundation made of faith and love and praying
and remember that ideals are like stars up in the sky you can never really reach them hanging in the heavens high.
But like the mighty mariner who sailed the storm-tossed sea and used the stars to chart his course with skill and certainty,
you too can chart your course of life with high ideals and love;
for high ideals are like the stars that light the sky above
you cannot ever reach them but lift your heart up high
and your life will be as shinning as the stars in the sky.
