[b][u]Endure[/u][/b]

You were called to endure
By a voice deep inside
Though you deny whence it came
The word yet remains

Endure

Night has just begun
The pain only just set in
The cold freshly kissed your skin
Causing the hair to stand on end

Endure

Does night not precede the dawn?
Can the pain never be mended?
Does the chill overpower the fire?
Does the Now mean there's no Tomorrow?

Endure

The speaker is a liar when it predicts no hope
The voice isn't a friend when he says give up
There's another on your shoulder who bears no halo
Block him out and give him no quarter

Endure

You profess to be a stranger
You believe yourself alone
You accept you are an orphan
You call no place home

Endure, my friend

Repeat the encouragement whenever you need
This is for you: I offer this seed
The garden needs tended but it was made for you
Your place exists and has always been true
So while you still draw breath
I wish you to

Endure
