What is needed is the conquestOf self-indulgence.
What is needed is the conquest
Of self-importance.
What is needed is the conquest
Of self-doubt.
What is needed is a prayerful life
For God’s Compassion.
What is needed is a soulful heart
For God’s Love.
What is needed is a fruitful surrender
For God’s Forgiveness.
What is needed is a supreme wisdom:
God comes first always,
And God for God’s sake.
