My Father's Words

(Lisa Moritz)
When the world gets heavy
Offer it up
Never see empty
In a half-filled cup
Something will work out
It always does
Find joy in your labor
Be kind to your neighbor
Let no one be a stranger
To you love, love, love

Share all your treasure
There is enough
Never take pleasure
In another’s bad luck
Leave everything better
Than the way that it was
Always be grateful
Make room at the table
Every chance you’re able
Give you love, love, love

Keep your hands clean
Say what you mean
Say your prayers and shine your plate
Smile often, stand straight

And when the world feels heavy
Offer it up
There’s more than plenty
In a half-filled cup
Something will work out
It always does
And just one more thing
All souls are deserving
Everyone is worthy
Of love
