Prudence Precedes Progress

Before you buy a luxury home

Secure a closet

Before you trade off your treasure

Fill up your mind

Before you give out your time

Use a just scale

Before you rise from slumber

Pay the debt of thanks

Before you wave safe journey

Acquire a courageous heart

Before you settle for less

Agree to grow

Before you make a promise

Ask for grace

Before you lift a burden

Eat a fresh and balanced meal

Before you issue a red

Raise a yellow card

Before you yell a lorry-load

Write a single line

Before you open the gates

Use the door mat

Before you soar with the wind

Shed weary wings

Before you cast the first stone

Search your conscience

Before you can murmur

Count your blessings
