Lessons of Life

Let pain be a visitor,
for he is an encourager of the weak.
A man that perseveres the night,
he never lets you quit.
He give aid through the night,
and leaves when morning comes.

Let loneliness be a friend,
for she is a companion of the weary.
An angel who watches the days,
she always know your need.
She sleeps not when you're lost,
and leaves when you're found.

Let sorrow be a teacher,
For he is the wise man of the fool.
A mentor that trains the will,
He never doubts your strength.
He allows your every fall,
and picks you up at every turn.

The Extra Mile

Here's my extra mile,
Two mites and a willing heart,
Hope it's not too little to give,
Pray you make use of it.
May it bring you blessings.

Here's my extra mile,
Five loaves and two fishes,
Hope it is sufficient for all,
Pray these be enough to give.
May it fulfill your hunger.

Here's my extra mile,
The cross and all my blood,
A hope that you may find,
Pray one day you understand.
May it bring you peace.
