204. Save and except

He can resist everything
Save and except temptation.

He can resist everything
Save and except his yesterday’s failure.

He can resist everything
Save and except his today’s frustration.

He can resist everything
Save and except his tomorrow’s perhaps.

He can resist everything
Save and except his Master’s Compassion.
