Knowing How To Feel

Following you're heart with beliefs attached strengthened 
giving you're mind a peace with balance with sight 
To have patience, love and understanding toward people
who give you guidance with truth that bringeth light 

In the darkness that comes or times tougher than tornado's 
lights may burn out though this light doesn't flicker 
It remains strong on the foundation that it remains on 
standing even if the tornado's destruction grew thicker

Tearing away everything in sight surrounded by you 
blowing away everything you worked so hard for 
That doesn't mean to give up on going forward in life
for what awaits you is a blessing and much more

For when you survive through the most heartbreaking trial 
carrying yourself still even with you're body in pain 
You are blessed already for walking forward through smoke 
that you put out by accepting to purify yourself in the rain 

It has cleansed you as a person still I believe in my heart 
that no matter what the future holds to us here 
It's our actions that count now for the present day of living 
for our time on earth is unknown possibly near 

Man can't predict how long you will live in this land
only our creator can predict such miraculous claims 
For in his book He constructs every written entry 
mulitiple list apon list of Heavens promise with names 

Surely there is not just one name already within this book
many have been added even for those that fall 
For God gives us chances to make ourselves better friends
for where we have been His Son went through it all 

Looking at things from our Spirit with truth in each fact
knowledge seeked or given through every sign 
Through each passing stage that we go through in life
even these great words from God given not mine 

Blessed be those who are humble with Spirits beauty
knowing the greatness in changes are true and real 
Who are shining forth though any burden or unforgettable 
reputation those who understand what it's like to really feel.
