Don't Give Up

All those things which others got
could not have been for you.
Hopes and dreams are dependant
on what you yourself must do.

As far as loosing everything
I've been there a time or two
but I'll be damn if I give up
and I'll win before it's through.

Go ahead, scream out your pain
tell the world how life really seems.
I been to hell and back more than once
but I will not give up my dreams.

When things are at the worst,
Life throws more trouble your way it seems.
Yet while you hurt, you push ahead
For in  the end, we all only have our dreams.


I'll 4ever send ya hugs, warm thoughts, and prayers. Keep on keepin' on, Spence.

Not much use in living life
if dreams are not allowed,
with all the daily given strife
one often wishes to cry outloud.

Giving up is not a wanted choice,
I say it is far better to dare to dream.
As long as I have it, I'll use my voice,
but you really don't want my scream.

You say you'll win before it's through
and I believe that you have what it takes,
but life is a venture that has no rules
so be forgiving of other's mistakes.

Dream on, my bard, as you lay upon your bed
Visions of sugar plums dance through your head.
What, who, where, and when remain to be seen;
Summon the sybil; summon the dream.

Bravo, never ever give up your dreams for when you do your dead.  Now that may sound harsh but it's true.  We can truly be walking around, doing what we are suppose to be doing but still be dead to the poetry inside, and my friend I can see that you are not, so keep on keeping on Spencer.
