Arm Yourself

Arm yourself with kindness for those in need.
Arm yourself with wisdom to help others succeed.

Arm yourself with laughter for those who frown.
Arm yourself with hope for those who are feeling down.

Arm yourself with forgiveness for those who do you wrong.
Arm yourself with strength for those who are weak and not strong.

Arm yourself with courage for those who are afraid.
Arm yourself with trust for those who betray.

Arm yourself with humility for those with selfish pride.
Arm yourself with honesty for those who constantly lie.

Arm yourself with faith for those who don't believe.
Arm yourself with integrity for those who deceive.

Arm yourself with discipline for those who lack self-control.
Arm yourself with compassion for those who need to be consoled.

Arm yourself with patience for those who can't wait.
Arm yourself with love for those who hate.
