A nagging chill pervades the room
One seems to sense impending gloom
Another day has come and gone
Another chance to wish upon
Some fragile hope we care about
Or dream we followed most devout.
A helpful thought to keep in mind
Remember to be just and kind
There is one way that we can choose
One path to follow win or lose
We need no special trade or school
It’s simply called the Golden Rule !
