Bringing Transcendence in Play
If I can lift up hope to a soul despairing,
Or strive for justice with the will to stay,
If I befriend another in burden-bearing,
Forgive a wrong through Christ like caring,
Oppose any of myriad evils with daring,
Or guide a wanderer lost to find the way,
Show compassion to the poor from day to day,
Or inspire fresh courage that may
defeating fears allay,
I shall share in bringing transcendence in play.
—James A. Langley
