I'm Just Here For Now

I'm surviving
Biding my time
Filling my days
With words that rhyme

Living each day
As it arrives
Hoping my sanity
Still survives

I dream of the future
Such a time will come
That I will leave this place
When my lessons are done

I will move on
To the promised land
A future that is held 
Within my own hand

A project being moulded
A pot being fired
I cannot explode
Or afford to be tired

God give me the strength
To survive each day
Hold me together
Till I pass away
