If I am honest, and I hope to be
I'm not a fan of the idea that
We can do anything
As long we just try
Or by praying enough
We can move God to act
Trying is good, praying is as well
But neither replace reality
Again, if you want the truth
There is a reason we fail
Sometimes our task is too great
Or our path is too difficult
All of these travails
Are no different for others
We all struggle
We all desire less wrath
And to find hope
And victory
You need hope in victory or defeat
Struggle bears a fruit
That is greater
Than the cost of failing
The seeds of greatness
Do not come from winning
They are born from learning
After the greatest loss
They are born from hope
Born from despair
They are born from the fire
That burned the world
We have to accept one thing
We will not win every fight
For us to appreciate the day
We need to experience the darkness
Of the night
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
