Cecelia Weir - Precious

Precious are they
Who look after themselves
For the love of them they love.

Precious are they
who fail not to respect those
Who strive for their benefit and prosperity.

Precious are they
Who reform themselves
That others may live a better life.

Precious are they
who pray and sleep at night
That the days of life may unfold.

Precious are they
Who love without a purpose
And joyfully bless each new dawn.

Precious are they
who understands without malice
And lives to make a difference.
