Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on a wall of the orphanage she founded in Calcutta. Its source is unknown.

Run
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be Kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis. it is between you and God; It is never between you and them anyway.

I wanna write about you too

I've been thinking about you a lot lately.  I should let you know.  I'll do it. Soon.  I have learned more from you than I think you realize,  I also know that I will continue to learn from you. You taught me about love, about priorities, about understanding, about patience.  It was so hard for me seeing you for the last time in mortality.  I didn't let you be the one to satisfy my own prideful desires, and selfishness. I regretted that for a long time.  I saw you bloom, and change because of the Book of Mormon.  It brings such great joy to my heart to see another person change and grow closer to Jesus Christ.

love notes

You are amazing. I felt a real essence of you, and who you are today.  It was mesmerizing? Peaceful, um...I was in awe really.  There are not words to describe it. You were put here on earth for a purpose,  I am so glad that had an opportunity to know of your strength, to feel of your patience, and long-suffering. I honestly feel honored... I still am trying to figure out how to use words to describe how I felt today.  You are special. You are a child of God. You are meaningful and useful to God. Thats all.
