The Four Pillars of Joy

Honesty is where it all starts,

A light that glows within our hearts.

The truest guide, the purest fire,

The spark that lifts our spirits higher.

Without its flame, trust falls away,

And love itself begins to sway.

-

But with honesty, trust finds flight,

A bridge that turns darkness into light.

It shapes our worth, refines our soul,

And helps us reach a higher goal.

Respect emerges, calm and clear,

A promise made, a hope held near.

-

Hope grows strong from this steady ground,

Where bonds of faith and truth are found.

It whispers of dreams long tucked away,

And breathes life into each new day.

Held close, it marks where courage stands,

A place of strength within our hands.

-

For limits guide the path we tread,

Where honor lives, where truth is spread.

Integrity walks by our side,

A constant star, a steadfast tide.

Without its grace, courage may fall,

But with it, fear is nothing at all.

-

Oh, what power courage grants,

It lifts us up, it takes its stance.

When we face life without despair,

The world feels light, the skies seem fair.

And there, in peace, our hearts will find,

The beauty in being truly kind.

-

So hold these values deep and near,

And let them drive away your fear.

For when honesty shines true and bright,

Happiness will come into sight.

Trust will light your darkest night,

And hope will set your soul in flight.

-

If tears fall, let them be of grace,

For joy will find its rightful place.

These pillars strong, forever wide,

Will be the path where your heart will glide.
