LIFE STATEMENT

I will go through this life only once,
and I shall try my best to live it;

Not all people will like me, others may even despise me,
as I may not be easily understood;

Yet I will take this chance to live,
and I will reach out in ways I know how;

I will love those whom I can,
and I will strive to understand them more;

Not all days will bring me sunshine,
so I will rejoice also for the rain;

Not every endeavor will be a success,
but I will savor the victories I achieve;

Not all dreams I dream will be mine,
but in time new dreams will fill my heart,

As light from a star they will guide me,
doing everything the best way I can;

No fear shall trample me under,
though some tasks seem to outweigh my strength;

I do what I can do,
and God will take care of the rest!
