Persistence

Persistance !

Our greatest temptation is to give up;
tho failure was never our goal;
like a marriage becoming a break-up;
only persistance grows the soul.

Although failures are destined to come;
life always gives us a second chance;
when reality seems destined to succumb;
persistance commands we dance.

There is something evil whenever we quit;
making us feel guilty inside;
tho truth is something we’ll never admit;
we’ve sacrificed love, for pride.

We must not start; things we can’t finish;
victory over self is our goal;
by quitting; our character, we diminish;
staining our very soul.

Whatsoever we promise; we must do;
are very words are contracts; writ;
in any circumstance; we must come through;
honor is never allowed to quit.

The Master created us in his own image;
within his kingdom above;
persistance is the Master’s lineage;
God never quits on love.

All our best efforts meet resistance;
evil is not on our side;
the Master’s love demands peristence;
it was for love, He died.
