in life you’ll make mistakes, as we all will do,

And it seems like you don’t have enough to even make do.

Your faith may be low, and the tide real high,

and you can’t get above water no matter how hard

you try. If you feel at the end and say “This is it”

stop and take a breather but just don’t quit.

Your journey may be full of twists and curves

but if you hold on tight you can make it

through the swerves. If you stay the course,

when you’re down and out, you may be amazed

at how quickly things turn around.  Don’t give up

before the race is done, just take one step, then another

one. The end is near even though it appears

to be far, you’ll be surprised to know

how close you are.  Here’s something to recall

when you path is darkest lit, it’s always

darkest before dawn and you can make it

if you just don’t quit.
