and drink a toast to all the friends we greet.
For loving others is the golden rulethat we all learned when we were back in school.
So let us at this table find a seat
and grab a crystal cup and fill it fulland use this celebration as a tool,
recalling that, and this I will repeat,
our loving others is the golden rule.Now some might think that I have lost my cool,
or fallen victim of the summer heat,
but grab a crystal cup and fill it full,I am not ready for the dunce’s stool.
From lessons learned we must not this delete,
that loving others is the golden rule.To love is like the beauty of a pool,
in which we sit and bathe our neighbor’s feet.
Let’s grab a crystal cup and fill it full,
for loving others is the golden rule.
