ife's Apprentice
Bless all experiences
for an apprentice id nothing
if never testes.
Bless the stumbles
for out of them come great learning
and great gains.
What can joy be measures against,
or fully appreciated-
if it were not for a little sorrow?
So bless the gifts of sorrow as well-
which illuminate your joys beyond measure.
Tears keep the heart clean
and wash away the pride.
Tears watter the soul
keeping it supple and alive.
So bless and see yourself as blessed.
For that is your reward...
