You don't know



You don't  know
What it's like to steal
If you haven't  stolen

You don't  know
What it feels like to cry
If you haven't  cried

You don't  know
What it feels like to forgive
If you haven't  been forgiven

You don't know
What it feels like to encourage
If you haven't  been encouraged.

You don't  know
What it feels like to die
If you never been reborn

You don't  know
What it's like to live
Unless you appreciate
The life that died to give.
