I met a man once who was clever and witty, <br />He could make up a story in a jiffy, <br />He told me he wrote a horror book, <br />But it got rejected after one look, <br />And I said: <br />Please do as you dream, I implore, <br />Find a different publisher that’ll like your lore, <br />Because quitters never win. <br /> <br />I met a little girl once who was kind and cute, <br />She used to do ballet but she got the boot, <br />Said she loved dancing but wasn’t talented, <br />She had no grace is what she said, <br />And I said: <br />Try again and you’ll be the best, <br />Don’t give up and you’ll be impressed, <br />Because quitters never win. <br /> <br />I met an elderly couple once who were in love, <br />They wanted to marry but didn’t have the shove, <br />They believed that a ceremony would make them ridicule, <br />And that they’d be known as old fools, <br />And I said: <br />Why should age stand between your fallen star? <br />You should be proud to show off who you are, <br />Because quitters never win. <br /> <br />Now I’m in a struggle to win my dream, <br />Everything is confusing and not as it seems, <br />But I know everything will turn out okay, <br />As long as I go hard every day, <br />Because I say: <br />Dreams can be won if you don’t quit on them, <br />You’ll win if you’re brave enough to balance on the hem, <br />Because quitters never win but winners never quit.<br /><br />Lenore Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winners-never-quit-3/
