Each Day

My life is not what it should be 
Things just don't want to go my way 
I now look up to see the ground
Still I'll keep using my faith each day 

You see I'm just not a quiter 
I regroup upon my knees and pray 
I'll never think of giving up 
As I keep using my faith each day 

I know that things will turn around 
As I find out my part to play 
If it takes time I won't despair 
As I keep using my faith each day 

I see a light at tunnels end
That's not a train now to betray 
But rays of hope that lifts me up 
As I keep using my faith each day 

I now must go I've work to do 
Success will soon come my way 
Take my advice and stay the course 
As I keep using my faith each day

Hmmm this is kyrielle , is it not? I see you only rhyme the repeated line but it looks great and is a good portrayal if staying the course!

Glad you like it wasn't sure if it was a true kyrielle though after writing it as the rhyme pattern differs from yours
