Eight Virtues
Eight Virtues
A practice of self control makes us mindful of earthly things
And moderating our appetites curbs what gluttony brings
In courage and in boldness let our purity reign over our lust
And let’s embrace a more wholesomeness to educate each of us
For by God’s grace and his mercy; we receive the things we need
So let’s be willing to give; let generosity defeat our greed
Let’s guard against our laziness by opposing idleness or sloth
Being diligent in our actions; working hard for God our boss
And with peaceful resolutions; let us follow a Godly path
Enduring all the turmoil and letting patience appease our wrath
So let’s spank ole selfish envy with compassion and sympathy
And show each one kindness with our friendship and charity
With humility and selflessness; where respect is not denied
And modesty is our behavior and we reject our stubborn pride
Let us fight wrongfulness and dishonesty by doing what is right
And let honesty and righteousness be our guiding light

Re: Eight Virtues
Irv, what a beautiful poem about crucifying
the lusts of the flesh. I enjoyed this very much.
Blessings.
