To see beauty even in the common things of life
to shed the light of love and friendship round me
to keep my life in tune with the world that I shall make
no discords in the harmony of life
to strike on the lyre of the universe only the notes
of happiness, of joy, of peace
to appreciate every little service rendered
to see and appreciate all that is noble in another be her badge what it may
and to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity.
This is to be my symphony.
