Standards Like These Poem by John Sensele

Seasons like these redefine our moral compass
Measures like these ensure to next generations we pass
A torch that burns bright
To stand by beliefs we deem right.

Sacrifices like these maintain the sanctity of our moral fibre
Edifices like these ensure we sustainthe right calibre
At home, in church and at work
Where we uphold the faith of the clerk

To whom examples like these set the right tone
In leisures like these we hone as we cast them in stone
Endeavouring to preserve sanity
As we strive to eliminate inanity

From standards like these we set
To ensure the right expectations we get
From the fruit we reap
If salient standards we keep

At all times
Not for dollars or dimes
But for the little children we raise
