I’ll Never Give Up

Rachel A. Lund

Though life may be unkind
And knock me around for a while
Though I may get a few bruises
And carry some permanent scars
I won’t let it defeat me
I’ll never give up

Though life may leave me crumbled
Weeping on the floor
The tears I cry today
Will be gone tomorrow
I’ll stand up with new strength
With courage in my stubborn heart
Refusing to stay down

This isn’t the first time
Life tried to bring an end to me
Nor is this the first time
I fought to survive

I’ve experienced being crushed
Many times in this life I live
Only causing me to rise again
To defiantly stare life in the face
Letting it know

That I will never give up

Life can hurt me
And kick me while I’m down
The bruises will heal
And the scars will fade with time
While I’ll rise once again
To laugh in the face of life
Daring it to try again
Because I’ll never give up
