You are a Child of Royal Birth sent by a Heavenly Father to live here on earth.
Sent from a home so warm and secure, one you can return to if you but endure. This short time here is merely a test all you are asked is to do your best. Sometimes you may stumble and yes you may fall, but cherished friends and loved ones can help you through it all. And when your burdens seem too hard to bear look towards Heaven and Know God is there. He knows your sorrows and feels your pain be assured your pleas are never in vain. With his
love unending, His grace divine, He will watch over and care for you till your appointed time. And on the day when you've completed your test, You can return home Joyfully having done your Best.
