This, Too, Shall Pass - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

~ This, Too, Will Pass ~

If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be...

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing around me,
Secure in the knowledge that God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me...

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that "this will pass away, too!"...

Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains...
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all the chains
That are binding me tight in "the darkness"
And trying to fill be with fear...

For there is "no night without dawning"
And I know that "my morning" is near.
