"The Warrior is a Child" by Twila Paris

Lately I've been winning battles left and right / But even winners can get wounded in the fight / People say that I'm amazing / strong beyond my years / But they don't see inside of me I'm hiding all the tears.
They don't know that I go running home when I fall down / They don't know WHO picks me up when no one is around / I drop my sword and cry for just a while / 'Cause deep inside this armour - The Warrior is a Child / Unafraid because His armour is the best / But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest / People say that I'm amazing / Never face retreat / But they don't see the enemies that lay me at HIS FEET
They don't know that I go running home when I fall down / They don't know WHO picks me up when no one is around / I drop my sword and look up for a smile / 'Cause deep inside this armour...The Warrior is a Child

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
