Don't Give Up

January 1, 2014

Don't give up.

When roads are long,

and paved with fears.

When seconds turn to hours,

and hours to years.

When your dreams seem

far and out of sight.

And you paint on a smile,

but cry at night.

When it seems you cannot,

dig yoruself out of this rut.

Hold on a bit longer dear,

Please don't give up.
