Why speak when you have been shouted at?
Why walk when some wish to knock you down?
Why smile when hurt is all you feel?
Why laugh when others make you frown?

Writings on paper,
or even in the sand,
or carvings on a tree...
for whatever God’s teachings shall be-
let those who mock come to understand:

One can speak in a different way
without ever saying a word.
One can walk with God without standing-
for his love and compassion is never demanding...
even if sadness has been felt or heard.

God is our almighty protection
and has been since we were born.
One can smile and laugh in the good company of friends.
With everyone including God... we should make amends-
then He will protect our soul from ever being torn.

Making our choice to accept God,
a new conscience is what we’ll receive.
Our writings can be expressed in our Truthful lives,
as the Truth is protected and in Him we’ll always believe.

It's funny how GOD writtes right in wrong lines... HE has done
everything to our best...

So lift your head up high and don't ever let anyone hurt you!
