A Guiding Light

Came across this today in an article on the soap opera and liked it enough to search out the whole text and share:

"A Creed"   

To Mr. David Lubin   

There is a destiny that makes us brothers :   

None goes his way alone :  

All that we send into the lives of others   

Comes back into our own.   

I care not what his temples or his creeds,  

One thing holds firm and fast   

That into his fateful heap of days and deeds  

The soul of a man is cast.

Edwin Markham (1852-1940)
