Qualities of a True Life

Life 
Is what we make it
When we change it, it’ll always remain

Death 
When it comes, we shall not fear
For we have eternity

Home is where we are
Where we live
Where we pray

The Homeless are those who are lost
They have yet to be found
They have yet to believe

Love those we care for
Those who care for us
Unconditionally

Those who don’t love are filled with emptiness
They are hollow shells 
Of what we are

Courage 
Is to know what to do
To follow God even at great cost 

Those without courage 
Don’t know where to turn
They don’t know how to ask for forgiveness

Faith 
Is to believe what you cannot see
Because you know the truth

Those without faith 
Find it hard to believe
They are told many things but lack a true path

Wisdom 
Is to know that you lack knowledge
Compared to God we know nothing

Those without wisdom 
Think they know it all
They don’t know that only God knows everything

Peace is what we feel
When we are loved 
By our God

Those without peace 
Find it impossible to relax
They can’t calm down and be free
