I am related to
those who stand next to me
by the air we breathe by the
light we share
by the hope we have for a better world.
I have a responsibility to give... to receive,
to be open
minded, tolerant and free.
I have inherited this world
from those who have lived
before.
I occupy space and time for a few short years.
I hold this world in trust for those who follow.
My life - with
others -
can fashion this world toward
PEACE rather than
strife -
HOPE rather than despair -
FREEDOM rather than
slavery.
I, with those about me, can make the
[family of
humanity] a living thing.
I pledge my
willing spirit to this thought.
We will do this together.
