Endurance

 ENDURANCE

I don't know you,

But I love you,

Just as God loves me and you.

The sun and the moon

Are opposing forces,

But they still greet each other,

Peacefully,

As one awakens in the morning,

Just as the other goes to sleep.

Life has pounded me down

And thrashed me around,

Time and time again,

But I always get right back up,

Because I still love life -

Just as the earth still loves

The rain.
