“ God, I thank You for letting me have this conscience

The road was very long, the journey was very hard

But through You, I finally achieved this stage in life

Where my emotions are controlled, problems seen in a better view

Solutions are thought through, actions are executed well

It took so much breaking for me to gather all the right pieces

For the conscience I have today, I owe it all to You. Amen. ”
