One Sunday morning, my perspective was changed.

My priorities needed to be rearranged.

Words of counsel echoed in my ears,

something I once heard from earlier years.

It was a typical day in class,

hoping the day would quickly pass.

Eight words were written boldly in red

and flowing beautifully it said:

"What er' thou art, act well thy part."

And inside, there was a change of heart.

And to this day they still ring true,

of something I must try to do.

To help lift and inspire other students,

I could help start of movement.

Of knowing that If they do well,

then surely, they couldn't fail.
