Notes About The Poem

Just Keep Trying

Survival can be summed up in three words ~ Never give up! That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying - Bear Gryllis I thought it would be the death of me At least the person who lives within Where silence awakens dreams of intimacy And caresses the spirit with hopes and prayers Awakening hues of colorful, captivating Emotions that welcome the heart to be Alive with embers of insight and inspiration Miracles flowing from a well of imagination Filling the soul with visions of wisdom and Strength that motivates the will to keep moving Forward, into the tomorrows where intense Capacity for creativity and life’s reasons beckon Healing, forgiveness, mystery in being alive With joy and the resolve to survive the worst Move forward and keep going, through the pain Into the heart of deep affection whispering Gentle thoughts of passionate ideas that give The inner person more encouragement to Endure the cruelties found in this world And venture out toward the promise of A new day, a new way, second chances to Believe, to dream, to be… to just keep trying!
