As a member of the human race
I would like to flourish with haste 

Achieving to thrive in everything I do
Hoping to be most pleasing to you

To Flourish nourishment must be provided
Through my loving friends, I will be guided. 

Spiritual flourishment takes a completely different course. 
Requiring a path that God would endorse

Associating with friends of similar faith
Would bring me closer to God’s Grace

Developing a flow of living water deep inside
Will certainly determine where my soul will abide
