My Creed

By Howard Arnold Walter

I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare.

I would be friend of all — the foe — the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up — and laugh — and love — and lift.

—Howard Arnold Walter in "Harper's Bazaar."
