My life has been good <br />That I must admit <br />But there were times <br />When I did want to quit <br /> <br />But I always had someone <br />Telling me don't give in <br />Because when you don't give your all <br />That is the real sin <br /> <br />If you are blessed with abilities <br />That others do not posess <br />Then you must always give all <br />And strive to do your best <br /> <br />Living life is no secret <br />It's as plain to see as the sky <br />Those who are successful <br />Are the ones who are willing to try <br /> <br />And when things go wrong <br />As they sometimes do <br />That when people watch you close <br />To see just what you'll do <br /> <br />And if what they thought <br />About you is true <br />A little setback <br />Will never stop you <br /> <br />So never give up trying <br />Giving up is a sign of those who fail <br />And to give up on yourself <br />Is a sign of self-betrayal <br /> <br /> <br />3-25-11/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-give-up-on-yourself/
