There’s a little axiom called the Golden Rule
that is impressive in it’s simplicity.
A basic human principle regarding reciprocity.
It’s often taught in families
handed down from our fathers and our mothers.
Every religion in the world embraces it…in one form or another.
Perhaps at this most religious time for many…
This Hanukah,…Christmas…Yule…
It would be a good time to reach into the shadows
and bring back the Golden Rule.
A rule that teaches us a simple truth
It has but one goal…one aim…
That you should treat me with kindness and respect…
and I should treat you the same.
So when…whatever God we believe in,
thinks about us when this holiday, or any day, is done…
he or she will have a reason…
to bless us every one.
