The Golden Rule

The Golden Rule

(For Kids and Adults Alike!)

The holy rule I love so much,

It’s dear to my heart and I will obey it thus.

What Jesus spoke upon that plain:

“Whatever you wish men to do unto you,

Do to them the same.”

I wish that all obeyed this rule,

Because breaking it caused me so much pain.

To treat a soul with gentle grace,

To look kindness in the face,

Is to build a bridge where shadows fall,

And answer when the weary call.

For every word of bitter sting,

Leaves a heavy weight to cling;

And every hand extended wide,

Keeps a quiet warmth inside.

So walk the path you wish to find,

Be gentle, patient, true, and kind;

For how you treat another heart,

Is where your own peace has to start.
