To Those within the Sound of My Voice

 To those within the sound of my voice,

to those within the reach of my embrace,

I say, here we are, let us make use of this

shared time and space.

Let us make more than memories,

let us work miracles,

and let us discover

new suns.

To those beyond the arc of my arm

I say much the same,

and I say it in all the tongues

of earth and heaven.

Together, let us do

these simple things.
