Perseverance To the End

Perseverance To the End

Our marriages are quite a trial,

Our mortgages are way past due,

Our boss is on our case,

Just what is it we should do?

We’ve been beat upon the head,

And knocked down without remorse,

This world is so hardhearted,

What are our options for recourse?

Our families think we’re crazy,

Our friends just stay away,

Numerous obstacles impede our paths,

As we follow the STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY!

The world can scoff, the world can scorn,

It can laugh and disparage at will,

It can slander our names and push us down,

And send us the final bill.

It would be easy to fold the tents,

To recoil from this endless fight,

To quit just before the Finish,

To the enemy’s delight.

But this isn’t the time to refrain,

And acquiesce to the menacing dark,

We are to withstand the pelting rain,

Until our ship can disembark.

Life is hard, but we must endure,

Eternity is almost here,

The attacks won’t end until the End,

So endeavor to persevere.

Don’t give up and don’t give in,

The Lord is almost here,

Hold on tight and don’t give ground,

Again, and again, PERSEVERE!
