If Instant Is Cure

If instant is cure
And distant is obscure
What has become of hope
Of the things beyond scope

How then will faith lean
To God who is unseen
To the naked eye
Whose vision is limited and shy

How many can take assurance
That chance is embedded in endurance
And pay sweat and tears
Yearning for rewarding years

Easy choices we have had
Between good and bad
But the true test
Is between easy and best

Nothing in life is worth having, if we did not earn it honestly and with hard work. And, sometimes it takes a little bit of hope, too. You expressed this so well here, Kennedy. I loved the flow of your words here and the rhyme, as well. Great work!...Thank you very much for the kind comments.
