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.
