Small words to Live By

Let your words be few
Let your heart be full
Let your head be clear
Let your feet travel many miles
Let your hands stay busy
Let your eyes be open to the world
Let your joy spread
Let your arms prepare to hold someone
Let all strangers feel welcome
Let all people have an opinion, no matter their age
Let your ears listen
Let your actions speak to the world
Let your attitudes be inclusive
Let your intuition be your guide
Let your intellect be broad minded
Let peace reign on forever more
Let your mother earth feel respected
Let your Father be most important 
But, mostly,
Let your voice be hushed 
and your actions be with pure intent
Because if you want Peace
You must work for Justice
