Be All That You Can Be Poem by Denis Martindale

While God gives days and God gives nights,
While sun and moon still shine,
Let each preserve his human rights,
Yes, yours and theirs and mine...
While grass still grows and trees still climb,
While meadows grant us peace,
Let there be moments lost in time
For Man to find some ease...

While children play and sing their songs,
While fairytales are told,
Let each child learn where he belongs
And treated good as gold...
While lions roar and cats meow,
While dolphins leap for joy,
Let there be worship men allow
For every girl and boy...

While there are waterfalls and streams,
While mountains touch the sky,
Let pilgrim souls still dream their dreams
And giants still defy...
While freedom is worth dying for,
While Christ still sets us free,
He's living proof we can do more!
BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE...
