These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Through

Through the muck and through the mire,
we travel in our days.
Through the floods and testing fire,
we learn to God obey.

Through is blocked at times by hoops,
that we misjudged some way.
Through, we can't, when rules in groups
deny our forward play.

Through, we go, when the road is paved.
Through, the hoped-for success.
Through completes, and life is saved.
Through means, "done and blest."
