Wisdom of All Rose Marie Raccioppi Oh, how the mind conceives the thought With restlessness your heart is wrought For there is a just and kingly goal Distant--yet touching your crying soul Be burdened not by task and deed Lest you be lost to the greater creed Inspired by self and the knowing within Shall you pass the haunt, the doom of the din Listen dear child to thy self sovereign and wise Heed not to temptation, deception and lies For it is the tear of joy that you shall weep When the Promise you vow, you do keep And when you reach and court the dream With God's love stand thou supreme Deception takes not your abiding soul You have reached a kingly goal As many may doubt and may berate You shall prevail for love is thy fate Guide the children, know their call With God's tender love and wisdom of all.
