How long will I wait?
How long will I cry?
How long will I say "I can do this"
While I still wonder if I'm wrong?
How far will this take me?
How far can I go?
How far is this winding
On this long and tired road?
How much will it cost me?
How much will I pay?
How much is too much?
Can anyone say?
It's never too long when you finish.
It's never too far to arrive.
It's never too much when you see and your vision is finally clear.
So, hold on.
Wait.
Cry.
Walk.
Run.
Stand.
Pay.
Then wait.
Laugh.
Hope.
Pray.
Love.
It might not be easy,
but nothing that's good ever is.
It doesn't matter how long,
How far,
How much.
When you win,
You win.
The race is done.
"For we know in part and we prophecy in part,
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a woman, I put away childish things.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror.
Then we shall see face to face.
And now these three remain-
Faith, Hope, Love.
The greatest of these is love."
When you've done all to stand. STAND.
