Light of Beauty


Upon opening to the World's touch,
by offering the highest service,
—the sum of our lives—
will be judged by these deeds.
Making beneficence a touchstone
is the light of beauty.


Noble gains come by sharing,
by helping others,
by assisting through initiative
with consideration, with excellence of character.
Righteousness is self-illuminating;
virtue and contentment brothers.
In these lie the perfection of wisdom.


The greatest serve quietly,
expecting neither thanks or recompense.
May our tribute be that we always treated others
to the finest degree possible.
Through giving discover that in sacrificing,
there is no sacrifice, just reward.
