TOUCHING STORIES   


If Everything Was Easy

If everything was easy
     and nothing made us sad
   If everything was easy
     and nothing turned out bad
   If heartaches never happened
     and tears would never flow
   We'd stay such little people
     and never really grow.

   If everything was easy
     and fell into our hands
   If everything was easy
     and went just like we planned
   We'd take it all for granted
     and feel no greater gain
   For strength comes when we suffer
     and wisdom comes from pain.

   If everything was easy
     I'd be no good to you
   For how could I look at your hurt
     and say I'd been there, too?
   I'd be a petty person
     just an infant all my days
   And I'd never thank my Savior
     for the sunshine's golden rays
