I Will...

I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And what I can do, that I ought to do,
And what I ought to do,
by the grace of God, I will do.

I will do more than belong--
I will participate.

I will do more than care--
I will help.

I will do more than believe--
I will practice.

I will do more than be fair--
I will be kind.

I will do more than dream--
I will work.

I will do more than teach--
I will inspire.

I will do more than give--
I will serve.

I will do more than live--
I will grow.

I will do more than talk--
I will act.
