Words to Live By

Sacrifice until the end is complete;

surrender, but don't accept defeat.

Become wise to all that you see;

compromise, even if you disagree.

Love even if it causes pain;

for it holds out hope that others you'll gain.

Speak out, but don't complain;

hate, but only the actions of others

and continue to forgive the sins of another.

Learn to say “I'm sorry” when you’re wrong;

recognize your weaknesses so that you may become strong.

For when you do others will appreciate;

realizing their weaknesses too, and will reciprocate.

Don't be afraid to cry if you feel the need,

regardless of what others say; don't concede

because you're not weak as some may think.

When given sound advice, take heed

so you'll be able to help others when in need.

If you do your best to accomplish all these things;

in God’s good graces and approval you'll remain.
