Give me wide walls, to build my house of LIfe–

The North shall be of Love, against the winds of Fate.

The South of Tolerance, that I may outreach Hate.

The East of Faith that rises clear and new each day.

The West of Hope, that e’en dies a glorious way.

The threshold ‘neath’ my feet shall be humility;

The roof–the very sky itself– infinity.

Give me wide walls to build my house of Life.
