It cannot be touched, nor can it be completely understood,
It is as wide as the world,
Yet it is small enough to fit inside the mind of man,
It has brought light to where only darkness dwelt
It has given Hope” to those who yearned in despair
It has nourished forgiveness in those who knew no pity
It has given strength to the weak and humility to the strong
It has given greatness to the common
It has spurred to higher goals those who once strove for nothing
It has been a home to the destitute
It has transformed sorrow into a weapon of happiness
It has given purpose to the trackless and shelter to the lost
It has taught patience to the hurried and action to the slothful
To the youth it has given Vision
To the aged it has given Promise
To the hopeless it has given Hope
To the restless it has given Rest
To the sick it has been a Doctor
To the dying, it has given a desire to Live
To those who have fallen, it has been a Helping hand
To the outcast it has been a Home
To the childless it has given Children
To the unwise it has given Wisdom
To the intolerant it has given Tolerance
It has no judgement against the Un-teachable
Yet, it has praise for those who Learn
For all those who embrace it it has given the most precious gift of all “Sobriety”
It also given them another gift “The love for, truth” with more than enough left over to share with each other.
