Endurance

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
I must believe a way for me
Is just ahead though I can't see
The path that will allow me to
Do what will make my plans come true.

I keep on praying and I'm saying,
"Please God show me the way.
I've been around but have not found
The answer as I pray.

Yet I must write with one clear goal
What's in my heart, my mind, my soul,
Regardless who will read each thought
Or care to what this world I've brought.
