I have heard that song I know a hundred times, but have never really listened to the words until a minute ago.
Oh.........listen to the words..........I did and I dedicate the song to you!
I was also searching for the reasoning behind the song and this is what I found.
Mother Teressa along with the current Dali Lama (sp) are two people I have the great respect for.
Here is the version reportedly written on the wall of Mother Theresa's bedroom. It is believed she adapted the verses from a composition originally written by Kent Keith.
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
