  I believe in the world and its bigness and splendor:   That most of the hearts beating round us are tender;   That days are but footsteps and years are but miles   That lead us to beauty and singing and smiles:   That roses that blossom and toilers that plod   Are filled with the glorious spirit of God.   I believe in the purpose of everything living:   That taking is but the forerunner of giving;   That strangers are friends that we some day may meet;   And not all the bitter can equal the sweet;   That creeds are but colors, and no man has said   That God loves the yellow rose more than the red.   I believe in the path that to-day I am treading,   That I shall come safe through the dangers I`m dreading;   That even the scoffer shall turn from his ways   And some day be won back to trust and to praise;   That the leaf on the tree and the thing we call Man   Are sharing alike in His infinite plan.   I believe that all things that are living and breathing   Some richness of beauty to earth are bequeathing;   That all that goes out of this world leaves behind   Some duty accomplished for mortals to find;   That the humblest of creatures our praise is deserving,   For it, with the wisest, the Master is serving.
