What Keeps Me Going

My friends drink a pot of hot coffee each day,
I prefer one cup to get on my way.
Many have family and friends for support,
mine have died~leaving but a loving hand full.
Some have cracked under living,
I pray and go on giving.
My dad said a million times,
a quitter never wins.
I often say,
faith and fear cannot go together.
Easter is a time to be renewed,
faith and love can set our mood.
What keeps me going,
that is very simple.
My God,
who has always been with me.
