We are careful…
We are careful with the thoughts we have
Because they become
The words we speak.
We are careful with the words we speak
Because they become
The actions we take.
We are careful with the actions we take
Because they become
The life we lead.
We are careful with the life we lead
Because it becomes
The legacy we leave behind.
