Life isn't always easy
Even when you're small,
You may feel angry, or hurt or sad,
We're only human, after all.

But if you can e just like a tree,
Firmly rooted in your faith,
And always turn to the Almighty
With every trial you face,

You will go through life with a hopeful heart
Aware of all you do,
Sincere, patient, forgiving and kind,
That's my prayer for you.
