Courage
It takes courage,
to try something
that you never tried before.
It takes courage,
to do something
that you’ve never done before.
It takes courage,
to be the best
that you can,
when the best
is too hard to do.
It takes courage,
to dream and
then follow your dreams.
It takes courage,
to do right
at what ever is the cost.
Courage is being yourself.

Lord, Give Me Courage
Every day I try
to do God’s will,
but every night
when I looked back on my day
I know I have failed,
at what God asked me to do.
So I say a little prayer
the next morning:
God give me courage
to walk on the right path.
To take the time
out of each hour
to thank you.
God give me courage
to accept the things
I cannot change
and change the things
I can.
God give me courage
to change my hurts and angers
into love.
God give me courage
to choose right from wrong
whatever the cost.
God give me courage
to follow your will
each day of my life.

Try Again
Why should a person,
keep on trying?
Why not just give up?
Sometimes nothing is going right.
Sometimes everything that we do,
it would fail.
Why not just give up?
When problems keep
on popping up.
Why should we keep on trying?
Then I woke up in the middle
of one night.
The answer came to me.
Each failure that we have,
we could give up
or keep on trying.
If we give up
we would not be able to
become the person who we should be.
But if we keep on trying,
we would find new opportunity in life
and become a better person.

Look At Your Future
As I remember my past.
I remember the good times
and the bad times.
As I am thinking
I realized I have to let go
of the bad times,
so I can move on to the future.
But hold on to the good times.
Those good times would help
me create an awesome future.
A future full of love,
joy, peace and hope.
A future full
of thanks giving
and peace.
That is my wish for all.

Confidence
Some days I am not sure
of myself,
And then I start
to second guess myself.
Lord give me confidence
in myself.
To do what is always right.
Lord give me confidence
when I am not sure
if I am doing the right thing.
Lord give me confidence
To forgive others,
who have hurt me.
Lord give me confidence.
