Everything I Need

Dearest Papa,

I miss you so much. It's hard not to be sad, especially at this time. Nothing will ever be the same without you, Papa. Wherever you are, Happy Father's day. This song is for you, hope you can hear it in heaven.

Love,

Patrick

Everything I Need

Lord I need you to be all the gentleness in me.
I’ve been trying by myself, struggling all alone.
From the very start I knew that I must depend on you.
Here I am, depending on, the rest is up to you.

You’re everything I need for You to be.
You’re everything that shines inside of me.
And I will have the strength to do
All you ask of me.
I will always let you be
Everything I need for you to be.

You are the One who put the stars up in the sky
To brighten the emptiness of space
And You put a light in me today
A dream that will not die away
To brighten every day
And I know that i can say…

You’re everything I need for You to be.
You’re everything that shines inside of me.
And I will have the strength to do
All you ask of me.
I will always let you be
Everything I need for you to be.

The Two Wolves

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."

It really boils down to which "wolf" to choose. However, it is not that easy as it sounds. It's a struggle to embrace what is good when confronted by the vices of this world. But at the end of the day, doing the right thing has its rewards, both within ourselves and those around us.
