     Enough anger to keep you bitter,

Enough failures to keep you weak,

      Enough sadness to keep you down,

Enough disasters to make you hate;

      Enough bankruptcy to make you greedy,

Enough enemies to ruin your day,

      Enough needs to make you desperate,

Enough mistakes to make you look back;

      Enough regret to make you wonder,

Enough unbelief to make you doubt,

      Enough depression to banish your life,

May you have enough.
