Never

Never lose that luminous light 
Especially when the veil of night befalls 
Always continue the good fight 
Even when dreams seemingly forestall 

Keep a moving and a shaking 
Stand down to rest but only for a moment 
Elude all imposters who are out a faking 
While staying the course on the road of atonement 

Never placate that natural burning fire within 
Keep fanning the flames with faith, hard work, and self-esteem 
Because there are more than enough people outside who do not want you to win 
So get aligned with the Most High and protect your dreams 

Never stop believing...
    Just keep dreaming 

Never stop learning...
      Keep those dendrites churning 

Never stop trying...
      Even while crying 

And please, please 

Never stop going...
       Just keep growing
