Syrup

a little sweet is all there is

in this life

little cherish to grasp

little love

little left

little had

little now

giant hope is all we hold to keep us

massive will

and self control

to gain a little peace

little space

giant will

little silence

yet sweetly be

and kindly do to others

as to you

be syrup in your days

drink of life in little parts

flow sweetly

giving peace
