Endure To The End

I’ve always been taught to endure to the end

But the end ways always to far away

So I’d give up hope cause I couldn’t cope

And back to my old ways I’d sway

I cannot stay sober forever

It is just too big of a task

Forgetting forever’s  not called for

One day is all that is asked

When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er me

It seems that I can’t make it through

I call to my God in the heavens

To give me the strength I am due

This too shall pass is my motto

But not always as quick as I think

The passing of this comes no quicker

By filling my belly with drink

So when it comes to enduring

The end is not too far away

If I don’t try to make it forever

If I endure to the end of the day
