Never Give Up

This may not be

one of my best poems.

Nevertheless,

it is my poem.

I can never give up.

The Lord did not create me,

so that I may give up.

People will say,

that I cannot do it.

I must limit my expectations.

Those are the people,

who never made it.

The devil may creep in your mind,

at some point.

He will try to install,

the slightest hint of doubt.

That is when,

you call on Jesus.

You can do all things,

through Christ who gives you strength.

Stand bold.

Remain steadfast.

I do not know,

if I will succeed in everything that I do,

but even when I fail,

I've succeeded,

because I tried,

without giving up.

I went about it the right way.

I keep my eyes on the Lord.

I put in the work,

so that at the end of day,

I can honestly say,

that I have earned my stripes.

This is a simple poem,

but I did my best,

and that is what makes it great
