PARK WOLAVER

I know that Love is governing my dayInstead of foolish fear and human will,And that I travel Life's eternal wayInstead of hurry's limiting treadmill;That Spirit's joys inspire each task I doInstead of lust for money, ease, or fame;That man's Godlike perfection fills my viewInstead of what lack, sin, and sickness claim.
