CONCLUSION:
You
Must Believe In Life
By James Walter Parrott
Why do some people fail and others succeed,
Because they the secret, faith, hope, charity.
Each one
of us is given purpose and destiny,
But values, goals are up to us to seize the opportunity.
Believing in God is the
basis of life,
So trust in him with all your might.
When facing the darkest hour of the night,
Be like John Paul
Jones, "I've Just begun to fight.
From Mystery Of Life To Mastery Of Living
By James Walter Parrott
People react to what only their eyes can see,
They fail to realize faith is the Master Key.
If your only goal by any means is to win,
What profit is your life , if you die in
your sins.
Stop living off your past, each day is a new challenge,
When you are judged by others, you will be in an
even balance.
What is the answer to the Mastery of Living,
Its sharing and releasing, because life is about giving.
