"Enduring Faith"...

I really enjoyed this.


"I've dreamed many dreams that never came true,

I've seen them vanish at dawn,

But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank God,

To make me to want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers when no answer came

Though I waited patient and long,

But answers have come to enough of my prayers

To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend that failed,

And left me to weep alone,

But I've found enough of my friends true blue,

To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many a seed that fell by the way

For the birds to feed upon,

But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands

To make me keep sowing on.

I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain

And gone many days without song,

But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life

To make me want to live on."
