Question

In the movie Lorenzo's Oil, Mckaela Odone has a quote taped on her mirror, but it is in small font and difficult to see. What is it?

Answer 1

The poem is "It Takes a Lifetime" by Ruth Moyer Gilmour

IT TAKES A LIFETIME

IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE, HOW TO SHARE AND HOW TO GIVE.

HOW TO FACE TRAGEDY THAT COMES YOUR WAY, HOW TO FIND COURAGE TO FACE EACH NEW DAY.

HOW TO SMILE WHEN YOUR HEART IS SORE, HOW TO GO ON WHEN YOU CAN TAKE NO MORE.

HOW TO LAUGH WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY, HOW TO BE BRAVE WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE.

HOW TO STILL LOVE WHEN YOUR LOSS IS SO GREAT, HOW TO FORGIVE WHEN YOUR URGE IS TO HATE.

HOW TO BE SURE THAT GOD'S REALLY THERE, HOW TO FIND HIM, SEEK HIM IN PRAYER.
