Do Not Give Up Just Get Up

Those who decide to give 
up stay down,
but those who get up get 
the crown.
Tough tears do not last for 
long,
raindrops make the young 
plants... strong.

Don't give up, grow up my 
dear,
have faith in God and shun 
fear.
Life is a trophy, we have to 
run the race,
we need more than 
strength, ask for grace!

Stand up, do not sit in the 
seat of sorrow,
look up, there is hope for 
tomorrow.
Life is a beautiful battle, 
fight to finish,
just like the precious petals 
fight to flourish.
