Poem reminding us that it is our choice whether we let anything negative or evil inside of us.
All the Water in the World
Author Unknown
All the water in the world,
However hard it tried,
Could never sink the smallest ship
Unless it gets inside.
And all the evil in the world,
The blackest kind of sin,
Can never hurt you in the least
Unless you let it in.
*There are different variations to the 7th line. Other variations include: Can never hurt you the least bit or Can never hurt you in the least little bit.
