<p>What happens to you does not matter
 How you respond to it does!
 Grit and faith are foundations 
 Of how we see the world</p>

<p>Why all the pain and suffering 
 Why not just joy and happiness
 A wise man told me Good is born out of bad, and bad out of good
 How is that I asked?</p>

<p>A child is born through pain of labor
 A new field of food growing from the ashes of a forest cut down 
 A sad memory is born of happy reminders of a person gone by
 Raving hunger driven from a full belly</p>

<p>No valley is too deep, no cave is too dark
 All trials and tribulations are tests
 To define our paths
 Refine our resolve
 Mould us into the people we are meant to be</p>

<p>Smile during your tests 
 Laugh at your trials
 And they too will pass 
 You will pick the lessons and grow along the way</p>

<p>The eternal optimist, I am 
 Proud to laugh at what life throws at me 
 I know better things are head ebirungi biri mu maaso
 The future is always bright 
 The sun will always shine</p>

<p>April showers always lead to May flowers
 Each time I fall down, is a chance to get up again
 The robin sings 
 The dog barks 
 Let us smile, let us laugh, let us dream</p>

<p>Only you can control how you feel</p>
