As Long As I Am Able

I'll plant my flowers in the sun

As long as I am able.

And lie me down when day is done,

To sleep as in a cradle.

Let labor in my house and land

Be that wrung of my own sweat.

Before I fall just let me stand,

Reaping fruits that I beget.

For I have found that here on earth

We all live by the same creed.

The thoughts and words we speak give birth

To good or bad as sown seed.
