Analysis of Keys To A Future



Life is often miserable;
It’s easy to complain.
Compounded hardships,
Can drive one insane.

A soul begins to weaken,
Under stress and strife.
A lose of sense of being,
Decays away with life.

Hopelessness sets in,
As standards get low.
God grant us wisdom.
To a path that we should go.
It’s hard to understand,
What He chooses to allow.
Diminished faith holds on,
To our dreams somehow.

Knowing He is with us,
His plans for us are good,
Is enough to sub stain;
 Or at least it should.

Learning to be thankful,
Even in troubled days,
Are the keys to a future;
Where happiness stays.
