Faith - Hope - Love
I took a walk with my best friend,
just the other night.
We expressed our different points of view
on things we thought weren't right.
We discussed a lot of problems.
Our opinions very strong,
in regard to indiscretions
and other things we felt were wrong.
We agreed that there were challenges
that we must overcome.
We're often faced with stumbling blocks
that could leave us feeling numb.
Sometimes if there's an obstacle
that we must rise above,
it could become a stepping stone
if we trust in faith and love!
We know anger doesn't solve a thing.
Stress can drag you down.
But love can open up the door
and faith and hope can bring you round.
Many things can cause duress
and make you feel some pain.
When you hit rock bottom,
love can bring you back again.
So here's what we concluded,
my best friend and I.
Although we're in our Golden years
and life has passed us by!
You younger folks, when times get hard,
the inspiration that you need,
will come from faith, and hope, and love,
which will help you to succeed!
