When You

when you can learn a lesson
when you can get a new perspective
when you can work through the pain
and discover all that remains

when you can take a big step
when you have a little help
when you don't have a plan
but it works out in the end

when you can look inside
when you can chuck the pride
when your heart can accept
tears no longer wept
