Sometimes the Worst

Sometimes the worst brings out the best in us
If we accept our insecurities 
Confidence will shine like the moon each night 
If we acknowledge our pain 
Strength will drench us like a heavy rain 
If we battle our struggles
Victory will cover us like clouds does the sun before a storm
If we face our fears
Courage will bring down mountains and hills 
If we release our tears 
Joy will fill our heart and soul
If we nurture God's love
It will warm our spirits like nothing else can
If we redirect our resentment of the offender
Good memories only of our dead love one's will remain
Because they are gone and that's something we can't change
But we can have a happy moment every time we think of them
If we embrace past memories to replace present pain
