🕊Nothing good in deed or thought,
🕊tmm= Never doing what we ought
🕊Nothing free from taint of ill.
🕊tmm= Where the gamut may be run from one wanting to lie, cheat, steal, or kill
🕊Heal our wounds, our strength renew;

🕊Give them joys that never end.
🕊tmm= For all of eternity, each one you will in a special way befriend
🕊Amen. Alleluia.
