Creed For Life's Highway Cred

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch

Plan but with this thought in mind

Often our plans and God’s plans don’t match

Still, always be gentle and kind

Don’t push the person ahead of you, dear

To get to the front of the line

Soon today’s trouble is yesterday’s tear

So always be gentle and kind

Testing and trial are life’s Certainty

Proving the measure behind

Smiles big and bright when the day is sunny

And we all seem gentle and kind

Don’t heap up more than you need; be content

Lest we become people-blind

Don’t let greed gobble up gifts God has lent

Always be gentle and kind

Always leave room at your table, my friend

For an ‘angel unaware’

We never know what waits ‘round the next bend

Or what will shape our next prayer

Don’t borrow care from tomorrow, my love

Life’s strife is present-designed

Granting grand chance for example to prove

Who truly is gentle and kind

So, don’t count your chickens before they hatch

Plan but be humble of mind

Often our plans and God’s plans don’t match

Still, always be gentle and kind
