As you go through life,
You will notice,
That strength may be like silk
Soft, tender, warm…

As you see many moons,
You may observe
That beauty is ephemeral,
Fleeting, surface, fading…

The more you live,
You’ll surely learn
That love transcends all,
Perfect, eternal, beautiful…

As your days go by,
You’ll begin to see
That faith in God is important,
Hopeful, peaceful, encouraging…
