When I am patient…I cannot be angry
When I am quiet…I cannot hurt with my tongue
When I give un-noticed…I give my humility
When I allow my shirt to become wet from tears…I let their pain enter me
When I see the beauty in the ugliness…I see the power of never seeing what is ugly
When I am hungry by choice…I then feel their emptiness
When I do not participate…I deem their cruelty to be useless
When I pray in private…I pray for anyone but me
When I become my humility…I become my reality
When I let my fears fade…I become fearless to help others do the same
When I know thy truth for me…I meet me as seen by my Father
When I love as I awake…I sleep later, in peace, for I have been loved
When I believe…I trust my life, for it is not mine
When I observe hidden…I learn, not influenced by me
When I do not judge…I cannot become that judgement
When I sacrifice and serve…I see love, dignity, worthiness in them
When I spend time on my knees…I then must look upward to see
When I embrace…let tears dry
When I doubt…serve more and see my doubt become their truth
When I bring dark…let me hide until I am ready to bring light
When I complain…I insult myself
When I cannot endure…I remind myself of my cowardice.
When it seems to be the end…I know it is, only of that day.
For tomorrow is the dawn of what I will become…When I do what I know I can.
