KEEP GOING

Is the goal distant and troubled the road

And the way long and heavy your load

Then gird up your courage

And say “I am strong”,

And keep going

Is the work weary and endless the ground

And the pay?

Then brace up your mind

And say “something better is coming my way”

And keep doing

Is the drink bitter, life pours in your cup

Is the taste gall?

Then smile and look up

And say “God is with  me whatever befall”

And keep trusting.

Is the heart heavy with hope long deferred

And with prayers that seem vain?

Keep saying the word

And that which you strive for you yet shall attain

Keep praying
