Don’t Give Up

Don’t give up a violet voice whispers
As I stare down my cherry challenges 
I silver shake shiver at how easy 
It would to be breezy and float away

I have a golden goal you know
But now I feel I want to cranberry choke
What made me think I could dream
What made me think I could esteem

Don’t give up you cowardice woman
You said you’d do it keep drumming
Find your chocolate courage
Lick it up like decadent desert
If you quit more than ego will hurt

I must find my big girl panties
And put them on to wear
Pull with all my might
No matter who salty states

I can see the emerald green 
In my eyes desiring victory
God send me more courage
For only with you can I achieve

'Pull up those big girl panties,' Karen! Ahem. Had to laugh at that line. I guess I gotta get into my 'big boy BVD's.' All's well, I hope...

Love everything about this poem. Particularly the way you have managed to keep your sense of playfulness /cheekiness to deliver just the right balance of hope and smiles for those who need both to shine. regards David in NZ
