DON'T GIVE UP - by Phoebe Gary

 

DON'T  GIVE  UP by Phoebe Gary If you've tried and have not won,Never stop for trying;All that's good and great is doneJust by patient trying. Though young birds, in flying, fall,Still their wings grow stronger,And the next time they can keepUp a little longer. Though the sturdy oak has knownMany a wind that bowed her,She has risen again and grownLoftier and prouder. If by easy work you beat,Who the more will prize you ?Gaining victory from defeat,That's the test that tries you.
