Im finally happy, yes its true
You took the time
to break my shell
To let the real me shine through

I never thought I'd be here today
to be loved
to be cared for
I dont want it any other way

If you werent here
when I needed you the most
would bring my life to an end
like my lungs with no air
you helped me not choke

So, I thank you
for all that I've put you through
just letting you know I care
and yes, I love you.

If there is righteousness in the heart
there will be beauty in the character
If there is beauty in the character
there will be harmony in the home
If there is harmony in the home
there will be order in the nation
If there is order in the nation
there will be peace in the world

Until I learned to trust the Lord
I never learned to pray
And never learned to fully trust
Til sorrow came my way

Until I felt my weakness
His strength I never knew
Nor dreamed, til I was stricken
that He could see me through

He who drinks deepest sorrow
Drinks deepest too of grace
od sends the storm so He, himself

Can be our resting place
His heart, who seeks our deepest goo
Knows well when things annoy
We would not yearn for Heaven
If earth held only joy

It means - You have not succeeded.

Failure doesn't mean - "You accomplished nothing,"
It means - You have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean - "You have been a fool,"
It means - You had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean - "You don't have it,"
It means - You were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean - "You are inferior,"
It means - You are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean - "You've wasted your life,"
It means - You have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean - "You should give up,"
It means - You must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean - "You'll never make it,"
It means - It will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean - "God has abandoned you,"
It means - God has a better way for you.

The man whispered, "God, speak to me"
and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me"
and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you"
and a star shone brightly.
But, the man did not notice.

The man shouted, "God, show me a miracle!"
And a life was born.
But, the man did not see.

So, the man cried out in dispair, "Touch me God,
and let me know you are here!"
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man….

But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
