I would be a master Workman, Yet ne'er lose the friendly touch, I would have my deep convictions, ' Yet respect my neighbors' creed. I would ever be truth seeking, Yet not quench my spirit's fire, I would ever struggle upwards, But from hard paths would not swerve. i I Thankful be for racial blessings, Yet befriend all other folk, I would strive for greater wisdom, That I might more wisely serve.
