In a world of Black and White

I am fearfully and wonderfully gray.

B. Brown coined it Braving the Wilderness.

For few things I stand firmly yay or nay.

At times I avoid create quite the mess.

My perspective is seen as a blessing.

While openminded-ness leads me "astray."

These qualities keep me steadily guessing:

To Whom or to What and Why must I pray?

On religion, politics, Mary J.

In the middle, gray, I do prove to stay.

Though my principles like Temperance, Justice,

Courage and Wisdom serve as my compass.

My heart might be good; my words might be true.

But good and true for me may not be for you.

In this polar world making my own way,

I am fearfully and wonderfully gray.
