      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I build a sand castle
with dried sand
even though it&#39;s hard
and it crumbles at a touch

It&#39;d be easy to go to the other beach
the one with the damp, squishy sand
but I read the forms they want me to sign
and I didn&#39;t like them</p>

<p>I fly through the sky
without any wings
even though it&#39;s hard
and I keep falling</p>

<p>It&#39;d be easy to get wings from those builders
the ones with sturdy, beautiful wings
but they can hear and see me when I use the wings
And I didn&#39;t agree to that</p>

<p>I sleep out in the cold
without any shelter
even though it&#39;s hard
and I keep shivering</p>

<p>It&#39;d be easy to go inside that cabin
the one with the fireplace and warm beds
but they asked me for a lot of information
and I didn&#39;t want to give it to them</p>

<p>I could do things the easy way
Maybe I&#39;d be happier if I did
But it doesn&#39;t feel right
and the hard way does</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the grand scheme of our world
we&#39;re all pieces of a chain
linked together with trust
to do our part and pass it on again

We must be able to rely on the other pieces
To place trust in them to do their jobs
To know they&#39;ll get the work done
To be more than a series of angry mobs</p>

<p>If we can&#39;t rely on the other pieces
The links in the chain would crumble
There&#39;d be no order left standing
Only chaos to toss and tumble</p>

<p>There must be some reliability
Accountability, discipline, and trust
They keep our world turning
without them we&#39;re little more than dust</p>

<p>Be proud of your place in the chain
Whatever you do, give it your all
Our world relies on you as much as me
And we can&#39;t let it fall</p>
