Perserverence develops character.
Love lightens a load.
Hope throws back the darkness.
Practice makes perfect,
Even if it takes years,
And perfection?
The quest for it,
Drives you to be better,
Or bitter.
Strive instead,
To be like,
Christ.
That drives you only,
To love,
With His heart,
See with,
His eyes,
Hear with,
His ears,
Remain,
With His,
Steadfastness.
