Life

L i F e

If you take whatever life may hand

you and from it try to fashion something good

If you know others may not understand you,

but you keep right on doing what you should
If you watch a friend go off without you

And know that you can take such things in stride

If you are wronged and still can be forgiving

Believing it is better to forget

If you think there is too much joy in living

To waste your time on anger and regret
If you accept a failure and not mind it

But stop to learn the lesson it can teach

If you resist temptation when you find it

Remembering the goal you want to reach
If you can hold your own when you're not winning

And you know you can achieve the things you plan

If you can proudly make a new beginning

And never lose your faith in God and man
You'll find success is waiting if you're willing,

That happiness is there for all who try----

Your life will be rewarding and fullfilling,

And nothing good will ever pass you by.
