Sand and stone
Two friends were walking on the beach.
They had an argument and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
 
The one who got slapped wrote in the sand
"Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
 
The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire
and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
 
After he recovered he wrote on a stone:
"Today my best friend saved my life."
 
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone, why?"
 
The friend replied,
"When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand,
where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away.
  
But, when someone does something good for us,
we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
 
Learn to write your hurts in the sand
and to carve your benefits in stone.

"don't put dirt on my grave just yet" (excerpt)
This time, it's goodbye trouble
I feel a light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step, yeah
Come hell, come high water
Ya push on me, I'm gonna push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Hey, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
No, don't put dirt on my grave just yet
