Carry Each Other's Burdens
And Thus Fulfill The Law Of Christ
 (Gal 6, 2)
      The earth is a steady
      Base
      For each with limbs
      To walk or stand,
      The water a ready
      Brace
      For all that swims
      Or sails from land,
      The air an upbearing
      Stay
      For what has wings
      To flap and soar--
      The world has this caring
      Way
      With all the things
      It holds in store.

      So pace off the planet,
      Sound
      The sea, and brave
      The blue to fly;
      But learn from the granite
      Ground,
      The wafting wave,
      The staying sky,
      To travel a brother's
      Road,
      Uphill, downhill,
      As one enticed
      To carry another's
      Load
      And thus fulfill
      The law of Christ.
