Don’t Give Up

Sure, it’s hard.

No one said that it wouldbe an easy ride.

Roads are long

And filled with potholes,detours, roadblocks and asides.

Is it worth

The consequences ofdecisions you abide?

Can you take

The pain you must endureto finally win the prize?

Questions,

Always questions mustneed answering so dreams survive.

Onward,

Always onward, lookingupward, keeping hope alive.

Pausing only briefly fora sip from Inspiration’s cup.

Pressing on with headheld high

Determined never to giveup.
