Everybody watched you <br />As you staged a gallant fight <br />Everyone praised your efforts <br />As you struggled through the nights <br /> <br />Giving up was a saying <br />That never entered your mind <br />Even though in your heart <br />You knew there wasn’t much time <br /> <br />People will remember you <br />And just how hard you fought <br />All your friends and family <br />Will keep you in their thoughts <br /> <br />So now your finale journey <br />Is about to begin <br />You’ll find a place in heaven <br />Where we’ll all meet again <br /> <br /> <br />© 12-8-10/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-didn-t-give-in/
