Life
On
the
day
I
blinked
my
eyes
And
saw
a
world;blank
and
empty
From
the
first
time
my
mouth
Opened
to
cry.
And
I
murmured
thoughts
I
never
knew:
Words
of
faith
Indeed,words
of
faith.
Life
has
taught
me
to
smile
When
grief
grips
my
heart
And
never
to
let
sadness
rule
my
Mind.
So
I
smile
even
when
its
hard
to
Do
so.
Life
has
taught
me
to
love
when
hatred
grows
like
grasses
And
never
to
payback
tit
for
tat.
So
I
love
all
even
when
that
is
Difficult.
Life
has
taught
me
to
learn
Even
when
laziness
spreads
like
Bacteria
And
never
to
grow
up
half
by
half.
So
I
learn
even
when
that
Becomes
frustrating.
Life
has
taught
me
to
be
silent
In
the
midst
of
words
For
only
then
will
my
thought
Grow
wings
So
I
watch
while
men
talk
their
Minds
away.
Life
has
taught
me
to
be
that
Gentle
hero
Whose
strenght
lies
within
him
For
that
is
what
greatness
really
Means
So
I
feel
strong
when
weakness
Try
my
faith.
Life
has
taught
me
to
be
bold
When
failure
snares
at
me
And
never
to
fall
for
it
So
I
walk
even
in
the
midst
of
a
Raging
storm.
Life
has
taught
me
to
dream
Even
when
hope
fades
like
Shadows
And
never
be
scared
to
pursue
my
Dreams
So
I
wear
my
dream
as
tag
and
Pursue
it
to
its
end.
Life
has
taught
me
to
see
light
in
a
Dark
night
Life
in
shadows
of
death:
To
dream
and
make
my
dreams
Come
true
To
hold
my
head
high
in
difficulty
And
see
the
silver
linen
in
a
very
Bleak
cloud.
Life
has
showed
me
success
in
Every
hardwork
Excellence
in
all
determination
And
greatness
in
ambition.
Life
has
taught
me
to
see
gain
in
Every
pain
Joy
in
toil
And
an
enduring
legacy
in
lessons
It
has
shown
me
hope
in
dispair
Enternity
in
goodness
And
a
lively
happiness
in
Commitment.
Above
all,
Life
has
shown
me
the
road
to
Greatness
The
truth
that
life
itself
without
Excellence
is
the
worst
one
can
Ever
live.
