To Love is to Live,
and to Live is to Suffer.
To Suffer is to become Strong,
and to be Strong is to Survive.

To Survive is to Stand in The End.

I Will Love,
and I Will Live.
I Will Suffer,
and I Will be Strong.
I Will Survive,

and in The End, I Will Stand.

(sigh) I too believe that we must Suffer in order to underastand and love Him, and though I suffered much as a boy, I am also thankful that I have become a compassionate one that can feel for others, otherwise I'd just be as selfish as many! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

It seems scary to suffer, but anytime we love someone we stand the risk of feeling hurt. But Christ was so willing to love us at all costs, He withheld nothing from us, its amazing. You have His strength, don't you?

hey, i love this, very powerful...the title reminds me of the theme at a conference i went to this summer, coincidentally, it was "To Live" and the verse behind that theme was "To live is Christ, and to die is gain" ...(can't remember where that's found in the bible)...but...it was a kool experience and your poem was a great reminder, and again, i LoVe it =).
