Ill Lit

I Would Be True

i would be true for there are those who trust me
i would be pure for there are those who care
i would be strong for there is much to suffer
i would be brave for there is much to dare
i would be friend to all the foe and the friendless
i would be giving and forget the gift
i would be humble for i know my weakness
i would look up and laugh and love
and live
amen.
