Never Give Up!
By Grace Bhagwandeen, Year 3
Life is a journey, So full of ups and downs One day you can’ t stop smiling, The next day, there is a frown Today you’ re on the mountaintop, and the valley’ s like a place you’ ll never go to, But tomorrow you find yourself deep inside a valley, And the mountain top? a dream too good to be true. But is this a reason to give up, my friend? No! It’ s not! Never give up! Because I know that you can make it through, For God will make you strong.
Your dreams, hopes and ambitions are not just a whim or fantasy, Anything is possible with God if you can just believe. Keep running the race and accelerate, And keep your eyes fixed upon God Because the finish line is close, the reward is near And the race is almost done. Don ' t you decide to give up on the way, You’ ve reached too far to turn back now, Look at adversity straight in its face And say to it,“ I will not bow!”
So when the feeling of giving up, Comes knocking on your door, Don’ t answer it! Don’ t welcome it! Just go and talk to God
.
He’ ll give you faith to stand up strong, Even when the violent winds are blowing, He’ ll give you strength to run the race,
No turning back, no stopping! He’ ll give you courage to believe, In God put all your trust! So next time you feel like giving up, Just pray,“ Please help me Jesus.”
I too have a dream …

What is this about; the methodology The pathology, Some kind of ritualistic psychology, It’ s not as simple as 1, 2, 3 … To argue just to break the monotony The linguistics, the jargons“ Your honour” and“ pardons” The shows on T. V Becoming reality The nerves the worries, The doubt, the stories May one day end that burning fire The yearning and wanting, intense desire The more you want it the harder you try Climbing that hill watching time fly Grasping onto optimism Failure and successful sadism Feeling a sense of altruism Auguste Comte, Fidel Castro synthesis Misunderstood and dismiss A life- long dream; bucket list You know what I mean? A legal tryst …
