Come Hell Or High Water

"Come Hell Or High Water"


"Come Hell Or High Water!"
    I don't want either coming my way!
One's the unquenchable Fire
    that will burn for eternity and a day!

The other's Water so high
    that it literally kisses the sky!
Neither one is a good thing
    I don't want either one stopping by!

"Come Hell Or High Water!"
    Now that's a phrase that commands attention!
It's indicative of determination
    with focused intention!

It most definitely implies 
    that nothing is going to stand in the way,
and something, without a doubt,
    will be said or will be done today!

It's a vow to make and take a stand,
    and no matter what may take place,
let Spirit, Wisdom, Faith and Courage
    stand with you if this is what you face!

For each is a force to be reckoned with,
    possessing great Power and Might,
Knowing if they struck singly or combined,
    there'd be nothing left in sight!

May nothing of that nature 
    ever come this way,
but If I must stand up against them both,
    HE will guide my way!

With this I have completed my vow.
    I did exactly what earlier I did say!....
"Come Hell Or High Water!"
    I am writing.....
"Come Hell Or High Water!" 
    today!
