My Life Captains

Struggles violently clash against my body, seeping inside, deep into my soul. Causing me to fall into despair. My perseverance crumbled, diligence shattered, willpower crushed. Faith is all I have left. As I watch my perseverance, diligence, and willpower drift away to the shore. I close my eyes, as tight as I can, grasp my hands together, until I they become numb, and ask for relief. A gust of wind lifts my perseverance, diligence, and willpower from the shore, And carries them back home. Whole again, I am able to tame my struggles, And turn them into promise. My faith in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, my captains during my life’s journey, gave me the strength to regain my perseverance, diligence, and willpower. To continue past my temporary strife and look forward to everlasting hope.
