In gentle ways, you shake the world;
Love's weapon is most powerful;
You hate the sin and not sinners;
A heart of love is beautiful.
Non-violence can work miracles;
Anger and pride eat virtues all;
Faith-driven spirits cannot fail;
Be happy with effort, not wins.
With patience, endure tests of time;
Be bold and face with conviction;
One's conscience is highest court;
With faith in God, no fear can seize.
Peace you can find within yourself;
A thinker does not teachers need;
A coward cannot express love;
Sans ignorance cob-webs, truth shines.
Dr John Celes
