Not Giving Up

I Made this Poem Because I Want to Let Everyone Know I’m Not Giving Up

It’s hard to get from here to there

If you never get out of bed

You lie a lot to fool your friends

But you fooled yourself instead.

It’s harder to get from here to there

If you set your goals too high

Then nothing ever works out right

Too soon you no longer try.

But the hardest way to get from here to there

Is when all you ever do

Is count up the years and miles to go

Then you’re through before you’re through

So how do you get from here to there

Well you first must believe you can

Let no one tell you differently

Its your life and its in your hands.

Then turn your dreams into your goals

And see what you need now

To satisfy the requirements:

The why, the where, and the how.

At first you’re overwhelmed, of course

There is so much you don’t know

But keep your faith, be strong and sure

For you do have a way to go.

Take careful steps and do them right

Take pride in each thing done

Don’t look to far ahead of yourself

Just that next step yet to come.

Before you know it you’ll be there, friend

Your dreams will then be real

And you’ll be standing where I am now

Telling others how good it feels.

You’ll tell them not to quit themselves

To have faith, though it’s hard to bear

So they will know it can be done

They, too, can get from here to there.
