Three Precepts That Count
Faith, that trust which we have each tried to build upon,
The basis for our very sustenance, our lives were begun.
A confidence in our acts, this shown of our own behavior,
That does so mean we have a belief in a heavenly savior.
Hope, to be the trust that we each show, in its confidence,
That quality of every life, this of our own design's essence.
The best of all desires, a product so revealed in a likeness,
An expectation born of the most astute is in all's awareness.
Charity, that defining characteristic, an honorable reflection,
The giving of ourselves, not a taking, the opposing direction.
Blessing others as anyone has been so blessed, as a grace,
A defining trait separating good from evil, of the human race.
