Much Is Required

 As I start my day, I pray

Lord, open my eyes in a mindful way

Please give me strength and a compassionate heart

Spiritual resolve and wisdom to impart 

May I know the devil's playground is the cynical mind

And although we're all navigating our way through difficult times

There're many who are more in need

And blessed are the ones who plant the seeds

The seeds of Faith, Hope, Opportunity

Selflessness, and Unity

May this be my calling for all the days, till I expire

Cause to whom much is given, much is required
