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.
