Live and Learn

I think about my life,
And how it has been;
With all of the strife,
If I could do it again.

Times wondering why,
Times of feeling sad;
Times that I had to cry,
From tribulations I had.

I would kneel and pray,
Asking why I Lord;
Being faithful everyday,
As I abide in the Word.

A soft voice deep within,
Says one word in return;
Remember to discipline,
As you live and learn.

For God wants to test,
Just how well we do;
As to become our best,
Aligned with His virtue.
