To pick up a worm off the path, Show out a spider before sweeping, A woodlouse saved from the bath, Are all acts of kindness by which we can help something living.
Love of created things, Even the smallest fly, Is what our humanity brings, Caring for all that dwells in land and sea and sky.
Understanding our world, Knowing our place in nature, Stars and sun we behold, Declaring our fragile place in the cosmological order.
May we be content with our share Of everything that's on offer, And think of ways that are fair, Looking around at places where poorer folk suffer.
Go light on the engine's throttle, Think before careless wastefulness, Think like Aristotle, Remember we're sharing with thousands of millions of others in thankfulness.
