Temporarily

I’ve been plodding along a rocky path,
Barely able to squint to see;
It’s lonesome out here, but only
Temporarily.

One day rain poured down in silver buckets;

Sunshine again, when would it be?
I have to admit I did complain,
Temporarily.

Now it’s uphill on a scorching hot day;

Muscles are crying unendingly,
But then I remember it’s tough,
Temporarily.

Life’s laden with stress and aggravation;

How much longer such difficulty?
My goals achieved only partly and
Temporarily.

Then God whispers peace to my struggling heart;

“Trust, My child, and obey Me.”
Soon life’s lessons will have served their purpose,
Eternally.
