“There is nothing we cannot live down, rise above, and overcome.” -Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919)
If I Can Endure
If I can endure for this minute
whatever is happening to me
No matter how heavy my heart is
or how dark the moment might be . . .
If I can but keep on believing what
I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with morning
and that this will pass away, too . . .
Then nothing can ever disturb me
or fill me with uncertain fear,
For as sure as night brings dawning,
my morning is bound to appear . . .

You fall, you rise, you
make mistakes, you live
you learn. You’re human
not perfect. You’ve been
hurt, but you’re alive.
Think of what a precious
privilege it is to be alive -
to breath, to think, to
enjoy, and to chase the
things you love.
Sometimes there is
sadness in our journey,
but there is also lots of
beauty. We must keep
putting one foot in front of
the other even when we
hurt, for we will never
know what is waiting for
us just around the bend.
