Never Give Up! Poem by Ross DixPeek

Never Give Up!

By
Ross Dix-Peek


When all is so bleak
And the mind and body so very weak,
When life’s travails
Your being assails,
Never Give Up!

When to live is but strife,
In this fitful endeavour called life,
When to be, brings only anguish and pain,
And the mind no-longer seems at all sane,
Never Give Up!

When your poor bleeding heart so ails,
And there be no winds of fortune in your sails,
When each day brings but only misery and strife,
In this great quagmire called Life,
Never Give Up!

When great dark storms your flimsy ship batter,
And your heartfelt dreams do shatter,
When distress your aching heart does rend,
And the Gods no providence do send,
Never Give Up!

When your only bedfellow be but misfortune,
And trouble your only ken,
When stygian darkness and endless night,
Dear and eternal hope put to flight,
Never Give Up!

For I promise you my Dear Friend,
There will come an end,
To all your grief and sorrow,
And in time, hope bright and effulgent light will greet your Tomorrow
So Never Give Up!
