Life - Try - Hard

I know life's hard,
and I'll have to fight...
At first I may fail,
but I'll know I tried.

From the outside, my failures
may seem endless,
but reflected within, I see
what it means to be blessed:

To endeavor whenever
I cannot prevail.
What I learn from each journey
rewards my wait.
Trying to trust the unseen and
believing for myself,
that You renew my being
to become someone else.

I can only ascend
when mountains arise...
I've fallen so much,
but at least I've climbed.

Fearful tentrils will wriggle
past, if I anchor me...
I am a weak link, but
You are strong and I believe....

...In endeavoring whenever I
seemingly cannot prevail.
What I learn from each journey
rewards my wait.
I must trust the unseen,
and believe that You're there...
Breaking my being,
counting each tear...

Every drop that slips,
is one in an ocean.
And You build my boat,
from the fragments broken.

When the last drip drops,
and the ocean flows over...
my boat will be built,
sailing beyond stormy weather....

I endeavored whenever
I did not think I could prevail.
What I learned from each journey
rewarded my wait.
I still trust the unseen,
and believe that You're there
molding my being
'cus You love me and care.
