Image for the poem "Not Giving Up," (I

"Not Giving Up," (I'll always Step-up).

  There's no turning back now, I've

come to far

I'm not giving-in and folding the

cards


I've driven this same road for miles

and miles now and the sites are all

to familiar so that sometimes they

blend and life seems hard


But I will not bow to defeat, in my

mentality I do not shake hands w/

retreat

When it does come, on my headstone

it will say, "Here lies a man in peace,

who never was beat,"


So run I this race not as one who

does not know, that not every day will

be a bed of roses

Neither do I think that in this fight I'll

never take one to the jaw

But I do know that it's not made of

glass so stand I there defiant saying,

"Come on life, teach me more,"


So I may go down, but it'll only be on

one knee

And if you see me crying, then it'll be

tears of blood that you see

Cause from the sweat of this body, I'll

push and pull

And from the anguish and trouble that

I go thru in this world

I will embrace and gain the mastery

over my soul
