Pass the Test



It is OK to recharge your batteries for a new start
And place new goals before your cart
Earn, you learn, for vistas new now await
It’s you who molds contours of such a fascinating shape
A shape of deed, of doing, hope and faith
In gratitude, beauty and admired grace
Heal the poor, uplift, the sick attend
Those goodness goals on horizon to amend
Participation in nature's beauty is your deed
New momentum, show your love in which few compete
With patience, ardor and a dogged drive
Teach mankind to improve and happily so stay alive
Feast with friends, companions, cuddle, treasure
Honor and hold them close at every measure
Your fleeting, active, voyage here on earth
Gives impetus and happiness to your life's worth
We live in a never-ending conquest of Self
Too often our goals and aspirations left on the shelf
Yet faithfully follow fertile activity in our quest
Fulfill us in our deeds and doing, hope we’ll pass the test
