It Takes a Lifetime
It takes a lifetime to learn how to live, How to share and how to give. How to face tragedy that comes your way. How to fin d courage to fa ce each new day. How to smile when your heart is sore, H ot to go on when you can take no more. How to laugh when you want to cry, How to be brave when you say goodbye. How to still love when your loss is so great, How to forgive when your urge is to hate. How to be sure that God's really there, How to fin d Him, seek H im in prayer.
