Stay the Course…

The winds of change shift and flow,

To what destinations, we never know

 

Have faith; stay the course

 

There will be ups and downs, joys and strife,

Such is the way with love and with life

 

Have hope; stay the course

 

Demons will plague us, like fear and doubt

Boldly trudge on; it’s the best way out

 

Have courage; stay the course

 

Through each trial we grow and learn

Like a phoenix, our embers slowly burn

 

Have strength; stay the course

 

Be sure, all your blessings to count

You might be surprised at the sheer amount

 

Have gratitude; stay the course

 

This world can be brutal and full of hate

But you can make a difference; it’s not too late

 

Have compassion; stay the course

 

When at last we look to heaven above,

We’ll realize our purpose is to simply love

 

Have humility; stay the course

 

Growth, perspective, and wisdom made

Be a light for others and never fade
