Charm And Skill
Love feeds the heart
Hate starves the soul
Love breathes new start
Hate takes a toll
Charm opens doors
Skill paves the way
Charm finds the chores
Skill lets it pay
Faith supports hope
Doubt causes fear
Faith helps you cope
Doubt renders drear
Work sets the stage
Sloth leads to need
Work earns a wage
Sloth feeds on greed
Truth fosters trust
Lies will betray
Truth makes life just
Lies kill the day
