AMAZING GRACE brings us here. What comes to mind is "STILL I RISE." Per Maya Angelou who said it best. Do you agree?

This is not the complete poem in its entirety. Just a few sections to give you  a if you are unfamiliar with it

You may write me down in history with your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt but still like dust I RISE

Did you want to see me broken bowed head and lowered eyes
Shoulders falling down like teardrops weakened by my soulful cries

You may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
You may kill me with your hatefulness
But still like air I'LL RISE

    In my opinion, this Amazing Grace said it best:


    Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found;
    Was blind, but now I see.

    Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
    I have already come;
    ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
    And grace will lead me home.

    The Lord has promised good to me,
    His Word my hope secures;
    He will my Shield and Portion be,
    As long as life endures.

    Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall possess, within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.

    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
    The sun forbear to shine;
    But God, who called me here below,
    Will be forever mine.

    When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
    Bright shining as the sun,
    We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
    Than when we’d first begun.

    That song will always have a very special place in my heart. I have sung often. I think it all the time. Thank you for your reply ru and Happy Thursday to you! :)
